Luminance using Black-Eyed Susan as prep for Acorn

Out of the Unbridled's Song mare Siren Serenade, Luminance races for Kaleem

Shah, who also owns Preakness contender Dortmund (Big Brown), the third-place

finisher in the Kentucky Derby (G1).

Baffert is seeking his fourth Black-Eyed Susan victory; he won with

Silverbulletday in 1999, Yearly Report in 2004 and Fiftyshadesofhay in 2013.

The field's other graded-placed runner on dirt is Danessa Deluxe (Summer

Bird), trained by Jorge Navarro for Gelfenstein Farm. In her only start this

year, she finished third, two lengths behind winner Birdatthewire (Summer Bird),

in the Gulfstream Park Oaks (G2) at 1 1/16 miles.

As a two-year-old, Danessa Deluxe won two of five starts. In her final start

in 2014, she finished fourth in the Delta Downs Princess (G3), five lengths

behind winner Take Charge Brandi (Giant's Causeway), the year's champion

two-year-old filly.

Devine Aida (Unbridled's Song), trained by Ramon Morales for Frank Stronach's

Stronach Stable, is a multiple stakes winner. At Gulfstream Park this year, she

won the Ginger Brew on turf by 3 1/2 lengths and the Herecomesthebride, switched

from turf to a sloppy main track, by 6 3/4 lengths. In her last start, Devine

Aida finished fourth in the Gulfstream Park Oaks, eight lengths behind

Birdatthewire.

Devine Aida's dam, the Came Home mare Passion, was a graded winner on turf

and 3-for-3 on that surface.

"I thought all the time, she could be a grass filly," Morales said, "but Mr.

Stronach, he'd like to see her better on the dirt."

Morales was pleased with Devine Aida's last workout, a half-mile in :47 4/5

Thursday at Gulfstream Park.

"She did it nice," he said.

Also entered are Fantasy (G3) winner Include Betty (Include), most recently

eighth in the Kentucky Oaks; Gypsy Judy (Kitalpha), winner of the Wide Country

S. at Laurel Park in February; and maiden winners Keen Pauline (Pulpit) and Pure

(Quality Road).
