Lull takes the Kentucky Downs Ladies Sprint Sept. 9

Claiborne Farm and Adele Dilschneider's homebred Lull will look for her first graded stakes victory when she takes on a field of 13 other fillies in the $100,000 Autumn Miss Stakes (G3T) at Santa Anita Park Oct. 29.

The 3-year-old War Front  filly trained by Christophe Clement has hit the board in seven of her 10 starts, which include three wins. Her most recent victory was the Sept. 9 Kentucky Downs Ladies Sprint Stakes. She finished third in her last start, the Buffalo Trace Franklin County Stakes (G3T) at Keeneland. She has had multiple near misses in graded events, including a runner-up finish in the July 23 San Clemente Handicap (G2T) going a mile at Del Mar.

Lull breezed a bullet four furlongs Oct. 3 in :48.02 in her last timed work, the fastest of 12 at the distance at Belmont Park, Clement's home track.

The Wygod Family's homebred Meadowsweet is coming off a fifth-place effort in the Del Mar Oaks Presented by The Jockey Club (G1T) in her last outing Aug. 19. The Smart Strike filly broke her maiden first time out on Santa Anita's hillside turf course, and also owns an optional-claiming allowance win in her four starts.

The top five finishers of the Sept. 30 Unzip Me Stakes, won by Autumn Miss entrant Storm the Hill, are also entered. The Get Stormy  filly was followed in that race by - Horse Profile - BloodHorse.com">TappedSpin Me a Kiss, Kathy's Song, and Miss Southern Miss.

The Richard Baltas-trained Reverse ships in from Woodbine off a third-place finish in the Ontario Colleen Stakes (G3T), also at a mile.
