Horse Trainer Odds Wiz Capper
Abel Tasman Baffert 1st or 2nd in 9 of 10 starts. She’ll be right for this one at favorable distance.
Champagne Room Eurton Upset winner of ’16 BC Juvenile Fillies in a shocker. Expected to be part of pace but adds an extra 1/16 for first time
Elate Mott On two race win streak. Owns field’s highest speed figure 108.
Forever Unbridled Stewart Was 3rd in the ’16 running of this behind Beholder and Songbird. 4 of 7 at distance. Will be first start since August.
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.
Romantic Vision Arnold Winner of last 2. Got first G1 last time out in slop. Improving runner.
Stellar Wind Sadler 3 for 3 at Del Mar. Was 4th in ’16 Distaff. Distance not her best.
