DIVINE ROSE (Good Magic) has reached her unveiling under the watchful eye of trainer Cherie DeVaux. The John Gunther and Eurowest homebred is a half-sister to GI Central Bank Ashland Stakes heroine and 'TDN Rising Star' Leslie's Rose (Into Mischief). Both are out of unraced Wildwood Rose (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who herself is a half-sister to GI Kentucky Oaks runner-up My Miss Sophia (Unbridled's Song)–the dam of 'TDN Rising Star' and current sire Annapolis (War Front).

Also set for a first start is Cabaletta (Maclean's Music). The Godolphin homebred trained by Bill Mott is out of GI Frizette Stakes victress Balletto (UAE) (Timebrer Country), who is also responsible for GISP Villanesca (Distorted Humor) and GSW Frost Point (Frosted). The debuting filly claims as her third dam the foundational mare Althea (Alydar). TJCIS PPS
