1.Uaupes

Owner/Trainer:wethold

5 year old stakes winning mare by Nadal has a record of 7 wins, 5 seconds, and 2 thirds in 23 career starts with lifetime earnings of over $250,000. Her best career performance came two back in a 14f stakes race where she trailed a compact field of 5 by 5 1/4 lengths before taking command at the top of the stretch and pulling away impressively to win 7 lengths earning her a 104 speed rating for her first career stakes victory on her first stakes attempt on dirt. Veteran mare has hit the board in 14 of 23(65%) in her career including 3 of 5(60%) this season. She enters this race off of back to back victories and she is in the best form of her career and I expect her to run another good race here in her Grade One debut. Contender

2.Low Cut Top

Owner/Trainer:charlatan

4 year old filly by Flightline has a record of 4 wins, 3 seconds, and 3 thirds in 12 career starts with lifetime earnings of over $175,000. Her best career performance came last time out in a 16f 4L allowance race where she sat near the back of the pace early before cruising to the lead around the far turn and storming home to overwhelm a field of 6 by 11 lengths earning her a 100 speed rating. Consistent filly has hit the board in 10 of 12(83%) including 10 for 10(100% ITM) in route races. Talented filly has won a race outside of conditioned allowance company and she takes a massive step up in class to make her stakes debut here against Grade One company. She will need to run well above her career best here but she does have the right to take a step forward. In the Mix.

3.Snow Sparks

Owner/Trainer:vienna

5 year old Grade One winning mare by Air Strike has a record of 9 wins, 2 seconds, and 1 third in 18 career starts with lifetime earnings of over $900,000. Her best career performance came in her 4 year old finale in the 16f Gr.1 Wandering Filly Stakes where she led every step of the way en route to a dominating 12 1/2 length victory over a field of 7 earning her a 103 speed rating for her first graded stakes win. Consistent filly has hit the board in 12 of 18(66%) including 3 of 6(50%) in graded stakes. Accomplished veteran is the #2 rated Long Distance Dirt mare in the world and she comes into this race in excellent form off of a victory in the 16f Gr.2 The Turtle Bring. She is the class of the field and the lone speed in the field and that is an extremely dangerous combination that makes her my Top Pick.

Owner/Trainer:lamaris 4

5 year old stakes winning mare by Tacitus has a a record of 10 wins, 4 seconds, and 5 thirds in 24 career starts with lifetime earnings approaching $450,000.

Consistent mare has hit the board in 19 of 24(79%) including a field high 10 wins. She is still seeking her first graded stakes victory here in her Grade One debut and she comes in off an impressive allowance score going 16f. She is a Contender.

Veteran marathoner has hit the board in 15 of 21(71%) on dirt including 4 of 8( 50%) in stakes/graded stakes races. Stakes winning mare has not been in her best form in her last two but she returns to 16f where she has an allowance win and two graded stakes placings in three starts. In the Mix.

6. Winter Behind

Owner/Trainer:corza0

6 year old Grade Two winning mare by Summer Front has a record of 4 wins, 6 seconds, and 2 thirds in 36 career starts with lifetime earnings north of $750,000.

She is the most experienced runner in the field with 36 career starts and she has made the last 25 in stakes company. She will look to improve on an 8th place finish last year and she will rely on her back class to carry her in this event. She is In the Mix.

Consistent mare has hit it the board in 18 of 25(72%) in her career including 2 of 4(50%) in graded stakes. She makes her Grade One debut here but her career has hit and upward trajectory since stretching out to marathon distances and she looks primed for another big effort off of a career best performance.
