(# 10) TALE OF A LADY - Looks perfectly set up for a big race by Todd Pletcher. Ran well on the grass at Belmont, was given seven weeks off before a dirt sprint on Nov. 24. She's working very sharply and goes long on the grass off the dirt sprint. It's her race to lose. One of a pair from Pletcher and they race uncoupled.

(# 8) Holy Grace - Had a pair of "educational" runs on the main track at Delaware in October. Different circumstances today, grass and she's had some time to grow and mature. Trainer Graham Motion has her working well on the turf, and he names Edgar Prado today.

(# 6) Antonova - Daughter of "Halo's Image" tried a stakes in last and drew a very difficult post (11) for the assignment. Showed some speed while encountering traffic woes on the clubhouse turn. Returns to her proper element at this stage, MSW competition.

(# 1) Sonnets Way - The second of the Pletcher fillies has been in training for some time now so she should be dead fit. Sharp gate work way back in early October at Monmouth is noted.

(# 4) Sereia - First start was poor but it came going long on the dirt in a race with an eight-length winner. Filly is trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, and she is sired by "Lido Palace" and should like running on the grass.
