OXO Equine LLC's CENTER AISLE (Into Mischief) marks her debut for trainer Chad Brown, who strikes with 24% of his sophomore firsters. A $165,000 KEENOV weanling purchase, she brought $450,000 at Keeneland September before reeling in $1.5 million after breezing a quarter in :20 3/5 at the Fasig-Tipton 2yo in Training sale in March. Out of unplaced Specification, who is a half-sister to GISW Skimming, the filly most recent breezed a bullet four furlongs in :48 1/5 at Palm Meadows Mar. 21. Shadwell Stables' PRAIRIE WINGS (Tapit), an $800,000 Keeneland September yearling, finished second–going 6 1/2 furlongs in her debut at Gulfstream Feb. 9–behind Fashion Babe (Curlin), who subsequently won at that venue Feb. 28. She is a half-sister to group scorer Storm the Stars (Sea the Stars {Ire}), who also placed at the Group 1 level in England, Ireland and France. She'll need a scratch to get into the body of the field, however, as she currently sits on the AE list just behind Starlit Daydream (Can The Man), who finished third as the favorite in the Feb. 9 maiden. The latter is a half to graded stakes winner Gas Station Sushi. Whisper Hill Farm's DANCE D'ORO (Medaglia d'Oro) debuts for trainer Ralph Nicks. The hombred is out of stakes-winning Dance Quietly, a half-sister to Grade I winners Saint Liam and and Funtastic, in addition to graded winners Quiet Giant and Congressionalhonor. TJCIS PPs
