Top pick: #2 (Warm Heart) (3-1) - Warm Heart has won four of five all over one mile. That includes two straight Grade 1 races, the Prix Vermeille and the Yorkshire Oaks. She won the Prix Vermeille in September despite a stumbling start while being forced to sit mid-pack for a while.
2nd pick: #1 (In Italian) (4-1) - This experienced Chad Brown mare has been impressive at one mile and over this year, winning two races and finishing second twice, with an excellent combination of speed and endurance. She comes off a close loss in the First Lady Stakes to Gina Romantica by a head. Joel Rosario will be atop again and knows this horse well.
3rd pick: #6 (Inspiral) (5-2) - This four-year-old classy filly from Great Britain has won eight of 12 races. That includes the last two at the Sun Chariot Stakes and the Prix Jacques le Marois, along with finishing second and fifth in two other Grade 1 races in 2023.
