No. 4 Haughty (4-1) has faced better company throughout her career. Chad Brown’s versatile filly reconnects with Tyler Gaffalione, and he was aboard for her maiden win and her close show finish in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. She won both previous starts at this distance.
No. 3 Sinfiltre (7-2) should work out a decent inner tactical trip under Flavien Prat. She finished a solid third in a prep race for this at Ellis Park on Aug. 6.
No. 9 Candy Light (10-1) got the wrong setup in the Big Dreyfus at 1 1/8 miles on turf last time. Joel Rosario rides her well, and she should be finishing at a price.
No. 1 Jubilee Bridge (10-1) exits back-to-back turf-route wins. The consistent mare should save all the ground behind the speed.
