Yell...Second best to Spoken Fur last time -- but we'll give a slight, slight edge here on two-turn experience.
Spoken Fur...Benefitted last time from the Frankel magic, winning first out for that barn in the G1 Mother Goose. Clearly the one to beat but distance and two turns are a question mark.
Little Bonnet...Lightly raced which means there's still some upside potential. Trainer is having a good summer.

Redoubled Miss...Wins at a solid 40% over this track. Second last time in a smaller stake but expect better over a 'fast' surface.
Scottish Bubbly...Faltered slightly last time in first non-exacta finish in last nine tries. We'll excuse that one and look for a rebound to top form.
Sierra Lady...Makes third start of '03. Last was a nice win. And is 3-2-0-0 over track.
