1) visible quest
thefarm farm
s chicken                                  5/1

Out of the thefarm farm is this three year old INVINCIBLE SPIRIT filly. She has finished in the money in eight of thirteen including two Stakes wins and a third place finish at the Grade 3 The Miesque. She has had three other Grade 3 starts this year resulting in fourth, fifth, and twelfth place finishes. She is coming back after only two weeks rest and that may affect her performance although she still goes off as second  favorite.

2) drummers bummers
tcrowell farm
t stone                                      7/1

Out of the tcrowell farm is this three year old ORB filly. She comes in off a second from last finish at the Grade 2 Mellow Breeze Handicap where she ran 89 speed over a mile. The two starts previous to that were third placed finishes at Stakes races where she showed better speed at similar distance. She should compete here today against this group but may want to stretch it out in her next start to see how she responds.

3) fleetwood crystal
fleetwood farm
t kelly                                         7/1

Out of the fleetwood farm is this three year old TAKE CHARGE INDY filly. She has finished in the money in six of seven career starts with her only blemish coming last time out when she was overmatched at the Grade 2 Fantasia Handicap. She has performed well at this distance in the past and has shown enough speed to be in the mix here against this scrappy field of nine.

4) shinku hadoken
yesguy farm
r radzinski                                6/1

Out of the yesguy farm is this three year old UNBRIDLED JEN filly. She has finished in the money in seven of her thirteen career starts including four wins with two coming back to back at Stakes races at this distance. She finished off the  board in two previous Grade 2 starts but and hope the switch to Grade 3 will be successful.

5) pioneerication
padrebri12 farm
d silver                                       6/1

Out of the padrebri12 farm is this three year old PIONEER OF THE NILE filly. She comes in off a  third place finish at the Grade 2 Mellow Breeze Handicap where she went a mile and posted 99 speed. She has finished in the money in seven of nine career starts and had back to back wins at Allowance races before her last two which were both at Grade 2. She will be one to watch out of the five hole.

6) tiste andii
pilotfish5 farm
b renfroe                                   8/1

Out of the pilotfish5 farm is this three year old QUALITY ROAD filly. She comes in off a third place finish at the Specially Devilish Dirt Filly Route where she ran career best 95 speed at this distance. She tries Graded Stakes for the first time here but she may be ready for the jump as her speed has increased with every start and if it increases again here she might just find a spot on the board.

7) maize barbara
zbarb1 farm
b scott                                      7/2

Out of the zbarb1 farm is this three year old HARD SPUN filly. She has finished in the money in all of her six starts and has never finished worse than second. Her last two were runner up finishes at the Grade 2 Mellow Breeze Handicap and the Grade 1 Los Vinegrette Stakes where she posted 100 plus speed in both having blazed 106 last time out. She will go off as the deserving favorite and has a good chance to win her first Graded race.

8) california hannah
james22 farm
r wisniewski                                           5/1

Out of the james22 farm is this three year old CALIFORNIA CHROME filly. She has finished in the money in ten of her fourteen career starts. She comes in off a runner up finish at an allowance race in New York where she topped 100 sped for the first time. She should like the distance and with the recent speed might be a nice surprise out of the eight hole.

9) special ruth g
maxibar farm
l callow                                     9/1

Out of the maxibar farm is this three year old SPECIAL WEEK filly. She has finished in the money in five of twelve career starts with all but four coming at Stakes or Grade 3. She has not fared well in her previous Grade 3 starts but comes in off a third place finish at the Super Glitter Dirt Filly Route where she went ten furlongs and posted 92 speed. She may do better at longer distances than this in the future as her Dam had a lot of success at nine and a half furlongs.
