| Abel Tasman | Baffert | 1st or 2nd in 9 of 10 starts. She’ll be right for this one at favorable distance. | |

| Elate | Mott | On two race win streak. Owns field’s highest speed figure 108. | |

| It Tiz Well | Hollendorfer | Upset Abel Tasman at Parx in last but don’t expect repeat. Better since adding blinkers in the summer but distance may be a 1/2 furlong too much. | |
| Mopotism | O’Neill | NW3 eligible with low numbers and has been beaten by several in here. | |
| Paradise Woods | Mandella | Won SA Oaks in spring by 11 making her favorite in sloppy KY Oaks and “caved” to beat 3 horses home. Won the Zenyatta last time cruising against three others. Expected pace setter. | |

| Stellar Wind | Sadler | 3 for 3 at Del Mar. Was 4th in ’16 Distaff. Distance not her best. |
