(# 1) MISS MACY SUE - Very fast mare had a troubled trip at the Spa. and was just not herself that particular day. If you discount that, she has five devastating wins in a row accomplished at four different tracks, all at this six-furlong distance. Great work at home base of Hawthorne for this, and I think she can take this from very close range.

(# 3) Dream Rush - Has carved out a great season with wins in her last two Grade 1 races, one each at Saratoga and Belmont. Has had eight weeks to prepare since the last win, and she will be a handful.

(# 6) Oprah Winney - This is undoubtedly the best and toughest field she has ever faced. Outstanding overall record, and is in the hands of a master in Richard Dutrow. Has had seven weeks since her last race, and that scenario has produced wins in the past.

(# 2) Miraculous Miss - Consistent filly has no speed, but is a strong stretch threat. Needs the speed to be both fast and contested, so that it will soften them up for someone like her.

(# 10) Baroness Thatcher - Poor post draw, but she has enough speed to be positioned about four to five lengths from the top and make a wide rally.
