Sunday Woodbine preview

Lane 3 and firm (11.8 GS) for the turf on a party cloudy day, with an east wind.

Eurico Da Silva is absent because he won a jockey challenge in Japan this weekend.

The Jackpot Hit 5 carryover heading into the 11th race is nearly $1.1 million. It should carry again if longtime maiden The Doctor runs his usual race and hits the board in the $10K maiden route. He'll be ridden by the red-hot Luis Contreras.

The late Pick 4 commences on race eight, the G3 Ontario Colleen, which attracted an excellent field of 3yo fillies, who will line up at a mile on the grass. Grizzel, fresh off a prominent fifth going 10 furlongs in the G1 Belmont Oaks, is the 2-1 morning line favorite. Reigning Canadian champion 2yo filly Victory to Victory was recently unplaced in the key G3 Lake George at Saratoga, but is back traveling the course and distance over which she captured the G1 Natalma last September.

Mythical Mission was a hanging second in both the Woodbine Oaks and Bison City Stakes, before ending third most recently in the 10-furlong Wonder Where Stakes. Probable pacemaker Enstone, who was a valiant second to the gifted Inflexibility in the Wonder Where, was supplemented by Mark Casse, who also sends out Victory to Victory. Yellow Agate will be ridden by Contreras for trainer Christophe Clement, who combined to win an optional claimer on the lawn here yesterday.
