Indian Blessing...Seems to be some rumblings that she's vulnerable with all the other speed in the race setting things up for a closer. Perhaps, but this one looks absolutely legit and able to sit just off the pace if it's too hot and then make the first -- and winning -- run.
Ventura...If things do collapse up front this Frankel turfer might be the one to pick up the pieces. Won lone try over a synthetic surface.
Zaftig...Showed real promise in last two -- but those were last spring. Tough spot for a comeback -- but working well.
Intangaroo.

Wager: $5 WP on Indian Blessing.

...$1 tri box top four.

Consequence...Well-bred Phipps.McGaughey runner is lightly raced and should benefit from the stakes education in her latest.
Emmy Darling...Expensive 2YO purchase lived up to the price in first two starts. Might offer a price off of the follow-ups -- but we'll take a shot she disliked Del Mar and might rebound to top form here.
Laragh...Could be the lone speed.
Beyond Our Reach.

Stardom Bound...Have always liked the G1 Oak Leaf as a prep for this race -- and winning it this year also has the added bonus of providing a trip over the track.
Persistently...Like top pick this one will be running late.
Palacio de Amor...We liked her to upset the Oak Leaf in her first try around two turns and she ran well at 10-1. Expect another good try.

Forever Together...Regular readers know of our respect for the Sheppard/Augustin connections. Nice G1 win going 1M at KEE could have her set for a solid run today.
Wait a While...She's in form as evidenced by the G1 win here in September.
Halfway to Heaven...Solid record against top company in Europe for top trainer O'Brien. Dangerous.

Zenyatta...Undefeated. Won G1 prep over this track. Working well. It's hers to lose.
Ginger Punch...Reigning champ of the division has put together another solid season. Top pick beat her handily earlier this year.
Carriage Trail...Has shown an affinity for synthetics.
