With the Breeders' Cup fast approaching, we'll take a look at the final premiere preps for the Juvenile Fillies (G1) and Juvenile Fillies Turf.

Home field advantage: The top two in the October 4 Oak Leaf (G1) at Santa Anita, BLIND LUCK (Pollard's Vision) and ALWAYS A PRINCESS (Leroidesanimaux [Brz]), will loom large in the Juvenile Fillies. Blind Luck, who finished a commendable second when making her stakes debut in the September 5 Darley Debutante (G1), rallied from off the pace to win going away by 2 1/2 lengths, and her 93 BRIS Speed rating stacks up favorably with unbeaten counterpart and likely Juvenile (G1) favorite Lookin at Lucky (Smart Strike), who registered a 94 number for his Norfolk S. (G1) score a couple of races after the Oak Leaf.
