(# 11) BELLICOSE - Big effort second off a spring layoff to finish second at Keeneland in a seven-furlong race. Previous race was over this surface and she missed breaking her maiden by a nose. Working swiftly for this contest she is the horse to beat.

(# 7) Victorianna - Strong return race at Churchill off a late-June vacation. Just missed at this distance after battling for the lead the whole race. Makes a quick return (about three weeks) and has a pair of interim drills.

(# 4) Spanish Omelet - Has improved a bit with each start so far. Last was very good try for a $50,000 tag, battling the whole race and finishing fourth, beaten by a neck in a blanket photo.

(# 5) Somethingintheway - Fields most experienced runner has several tries that put her in the mix. Last was sub-par, so she cuts back in distance for this.
