Rainha Da Bateria has two wins, a second and a third place finish in six career starts and has placed in three of her four graded stakes tries - she is the only graded stakes winner in the field and the most experienced in the field. Tiago Josue Pereira has the mount on the 121 pound highweight from post 5 in Rainha Da Bateria first dirt try.

Light the City - will hit the track for the sixth time for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer off a good second by a half length in the Grade 1 Las Virgenes Stakes here January 31 and a disappointing fifth in her graded stakes debut - as favorite in the Grade 2 Santa Ynez Stakes here January 3.
