Southeast -- The 3-year-old filly stars of trainer Carl Nafzger's stable, unbeaten Golden Rod (GII) winner My Boston Gal and Walmac Alcibiades (GII) winner Westerly Breeze, make their season debuts Sunday at Gulfstream.

My Boston Gal heads a strong field of six in the $150,000 Davona Dale (Grade II) at 1 1/16-miles. Regular jockey Calvin Borel will be in the saddle as the daughter of Boston Harbor faces Perfect Story, a half-sister to 2001 "Horse of the Year" Point Given; Florida Stallion Stakes filly champion Ivanavinalot; and Yell, a Shug McGaughey-trained daughter of A.P. Indy who will be making her stakes debut.

Westerly Breeze heads a field of eight in the $50,000 Charon Stakes at seven furlongs, the Gone West filly's first race since a sixth-place finish behind Storm Flag Flying in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (GI) at Arlington Park. Her rivals include Tempted (GIII) winner Chimichurri and unbeaten Kitty Knight, winner of the Heavenly Cause at Laurel Park.

Storm Flag Flying, the unbeaten 2-year-old filly champion of 2002, breezed an easy four furlongs in :50.40 Thursday at Gulfstream Park. She is expected to make her 2003 debut for trainer Shug McGaughey in the Forward Gal (GIII) on March 14.

"She's doing good," he said. "If she continues to do the way she is, then the Forward Gal will be her first start back."

Dubai -- Godolphin Racing lists the Kentucky Oaks (GI) as one of its major American racing objectives and the Dubai-based racing powerhouse may have a major Oaks contender in Danuta.

The daughter of the late 1989 Kentucky Derby winner Sunday Silence rolled to an easy 7 3/4-length victory over stablemate Ashraaf in the Moonshell Mile at Nad Al Sheba on Thursday. Danuta covered the one-mile distance in 1:37.46.

Central -- Explosive Beauty affirmed her status as the 3-year-old filly star of Oaklawn Park on Monday as the Cole Norman-trained filly rolled to a 5 3/4-length romp in the Martha Washington Stakes.

The homebred owned by Drs. K.K. and Devi Jayaraman, who won the Dixie Belle Stakes at the Hot Springs, Ark. track, easily defeated Hannah's Royalrock and covered six furlongs in 1:11.38.

Trainer Bob Baffert said The Thoroughbred Corp's Atlantic Ocean would travel to New Orleans to make her next start in the March 8 Fair Grounds Oaks (GII). The $1.9 million sales purchase has won three consecutive starts, all in stakes races.

East -- Aqueduct's $100,000 Cicada Stakes (GIII) on March 22 has been scheduled as the next start for Charlotte C. Polin's Ladyecho, winner of last week's Dearly Precious Stakes at the New York track.

The seven-furlong Cicada is attractive to trainer John Servis because Ladyecho is 4-for-5 at one-turn distances.

West -- Robert and Beverly Lewis' Santa Catarina turned in a sharp six-furlong work on Wednesday as she continued her impressive preparation for her 3-year-old debut.

The Bob Baffert-trained daughter of 1990 Kentucky Derby winner Unbridled blazed the distance in 1:11.80, the fastest move of the day at the distance. She finished third to champion Storm Flag Flying in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (GI).
