Before that were consecutive sixths - the G2 Jenny Wiley Stakes at Keeneland April 15 and the G1 Matriarch Stakes in December.

She also had a 2 3/4 length win in the G3 Providencia Stakes at Santa Anita April 9, 2016. Decked Out has been a tad tough to figure out, has placed in just two of her last eight starts and will try to bounce back off a pair of underwhelming efforts. Nik Juarez will try to snap the skid from gate 12.

Juno 10-1

Brazilian bred Neil Drysdale trained mare has five wins and three third place finishes in her 14 career starts - she won all five starts at home including a pair of Group 1 stakes, a Group 2 and a Group 3 - impressive.

Before that was a fourth in the G2 Monrovia Stakes on that track May 27, a third in the G3 Royal Heroine Stakes April 8, an eleventh in the G3 Senator Ken Maddy Stakes November 5 and a pair of fifths in stakes action.
