I'm a Chatterbox (Munnings): 2nd in the Alabama and won the Cotillion. Possibly the most consistant 3yo this year with her wins at the Fair Grounds and 3rd in the KY Oaks. Despite being by Munnings, the nine furlongs won't be a problem for her.

Frivolous (Empire Maker): 4th in the Spinster, she won the Locust Grove. Possibly the #4 best Older Female around. Keeneland form has been a little suspect, but she does have a win at the track.

Salama (Desert Party): A G3 winner in Peru, she was second in her US debut in an Allowance/Optional Claimer. Her trainer has had top horses in the past, but this is a monster step up in class for her.

Stopcharginingmaria (Tale of the Cat): 4th in the Personal Ensign and won the Shuvee. Before last had been having a pretty good year and wouldn't be suprised if she where to win. Has had plenty of rest since her last race.

Calmity Kate (Yes It's True): 2nd in the Cotillon and won the Delaware Oaks. Could be a horse to watch for a longshot chance. However, was 9th last year in the Alcibiades on this surface.

My Sweet Addiction (Tiznow): 2nd and 4th in the Zenyatta and Hirsch respectively to Beholder. Won the Vanity earlier this season. Lone start outside of California, 9th in the Flur des Lis. 

Wedding Toast (Street Sense): Won the Beldame and Phipps. 4th in the Madison at Keeneland earlier this year (but that was a sprint). Skipped the Summer races.

Curalina (Curlin): 2nd in the Beldame and 3rd in the Alabama. Was denied the Triple Tiara in the latter. Lone 3yo filly to face older so far in a stakes race.

Stellar Wind (Curlin): Won the Torrey Pines and Summertime Oaks. Also won the SA Oaks earlier this year. Stretches back out to a mile and a eighth.

Yahilwa (Medaliga d' Oro): 3rd in the Spinster and 4th in the Hirsch. With the amount of travel she's had this year, you could say she's the female American Pharoah. Of course the Triple Crown winner's race record is much better.

Untapable scratched

Got Lucky (A.P. Indy): Won the Spinster and was second in the Personal Ensign. 5th in the former last year as a 3yo. Has had only one bad start this year (5th in the Rampart).

Warren's Veneda (Affirmative): 7th in the Zenyatta and 3rd in the Hirsch. Had a 3 win race streak snapped by My Sweet Addiction in the Vanity. Hasn't been the same since.

Sheer Drama (Burning Roma): Won both the Personal Ensign and Delaware Handicap. 1/2 sister to Sprint winner Big Drama. Hasn't finished worse then 2nd this year.

Peace and War (War Front): 3rd in the Cotillion and 2nd in the DE Oaks. Had to wait for a scratch to get into the race. Won the Alcibiades in her US debut on this surface last year.
