33/1
Latest win at Ellis in June. Respectable 5¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Ceiling Crusher in Cotillion Stakes at Parx (8.5f, 73/10) 6 weeks ago. Blinkers on and she's likely to come up short in the grade.

7 wins from 8 runs this year. 106/100, completed 4-timer when winning 6-runner Spinster Stakes at Keeneland (9f) 27 days ago by 4¼ lengths from Le Da Vida. Strong-travelling front runner who looks the one they all have to beat.

6-time course winner. Completed 5-timer when winning 4-runner Grade 2 Zenyatta Stakes at this course (8.5f, 1/10) just under 5 weeks ago easily by 5¼ lengths from Desert Dawn. Warrants considerable respect.

9/1
Seven wins from 16 Flat runs. 187/100, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner Grade 3 Locust Grove Stakes at Churchill Downs (8.5f) 7 weeks ago by 3¼ lengths from Hidden Connection. Was disappointing in this last year and likely to find a few too good.

4 wins from 7 runs this year, latest at Saratoga in July. 19/10, creditable 4 lengths second of 10 to Randomized in Alabama Stakes at same track (10f) 11 weeks ago. A place is probably the best she can hope for.

4 wins from 5 runs this year. 3/10, career best when winning 4-runner Grade 2 Beldame Stakes at Aqueduct (9f) 27 days ago by 3¾ lengths from A Mo Reay. Should have more to offer, so she makes the shortlist.

2 wins from 5 runs this year. Rare below-par effort when 17¾ lengths fifth of 6 to Idiomatic in Personal Ensign Stakes (31/10) at Saratoga (9f) 71 days ago. Bounce back required but that's entirely possible.

Course winner. 5¼ lengths second of 4 to Adare Manor in Grade 2 Zenyatta Stakes at this course (8.5f, 54/10) just under 5 weeks ago. Looks out of her depth in this field.

Latest win at Thistledown in June. Career-best effort when 4¼ lengths second of 6 to Idiomatic in Spinster Stakes (129/10) at Keeneland (9f) 27 days ago. Task is now to back that effort up.

Forecasts

Idiomatic (2/1), Clairiere (4/1), Adare Manor (5/1), Randomized (7/1), Pretty Mischievous (8/1), Search Results (9/1), Wet Paint (10/1), Le Da Vida (16/1), A Mo Reay (20/1), Desert Dawn (33/1), Hoosier Philly (33/1)

Verdict

It's tough to look beyond IDIOMATIC, who has tasted defeat only once this year and can enhance Brad Cox's excellent recent record in this contest even further. She's taken to remain unbeaten when dining at the top table at the expense of Adare Manor, who is a 6-time course winner and arrives on the back of a string of 5 short-priced victories. Randomized and Clairiere can fight out third spot.
