Baoma Corp.'s Private Mission (Into Mischief) looks to secure her black-type badge Saturday in Del Mar's GIII Torrey Pines S. A debut winner at Santa Anita Oct. 18, the $750,000 FTSAUG buy checked in fourth as the favorite in this venue's Desi Arnaz S. Nov. 14. The bay returned to winning ways with a front-running score in a six-panel optional claimer in Arcadia June 12 and tries a mile for the first time here. The Bob Baffert pupil prepped for this with a best-of-82 five furlongs in :59 flat at Del Mar Aug. 14.

Phoenix Thoroughbred's Forest Caraway (Bodemeister) boasts two wins and a second at this oval. Opening her account here last August, the Empire-bred was second to Princess Noor (Not This Time) in the GI Del Mar Debutante S. next out in September and was fourth in Santa Anita's Anoakia S. Oct. 18. The half-sister to GSW Holiday Disguise (Harlan's Holiday) and MSW Midnight Disguise (Midnight Lute) registered a decisive optional claimer victory at this oval Aug. 1.

Peter Eurton sends out an intriguing candidate making her black-type bow in Lady Mystify (Bernardini). Hitting the board in her first two attempts in sprints, the bay ran away to an 18-length graduation when extended to a mile at Santa Anita Feb. 5. She wired a track-and-trip optional claimer last out July 29.
