Concave - Doug O'Neill trained filly has just two career starts with two wins - the last one coming in impressive fashion in the Grade 2 Sorrento Stakes at Del Mar August 7. This after a MSW score at Betfair Hollywood Park July 12. Concave is yet another Doug O'Neil prospect that has some solid results already behind her as we start determining the best two year old prospects. She will hope to hold off She's a Tiger again but a duel is likely like in the Sorrento. Concave departs from post 3.

She's a Tiger - half sister to Smiling Tiger will race for the fourth time for trainer Jeff Bonde and is coming off an OK second in her graded stakes debut behind Cocave in the Grade 2 Sorrento here August 7 after a win in her stakes debut - at the minor Landulace Stakes over E Equalsmcsquared at Hollywood Park July 13. She broke maiden by an impressive nine lengths in her only other career another one everyone is gunning for Saturday. She starts from post 6 and will wear blinkers for the first time in the Debutante - with the legend Gary Stevens guiding her!

Sprouts - Edward Freeman trained filly started her career with a fifth in a MSW in April but since has reeled off three straight wins - two stakes scores in a row including the minor California Breeders' Association Stakes last time out on this track and the minor Cinderella Stakes at Hollywood Park in June. She may not be the biggest name in the field but her results speak for themselves.

Awesome Baby - likely Bob Baffert's best chance at winning this race for the eighth time. She has just one career starts and it was a good one - a MSW score by 4 3/4 lengths with a Beyer Speed Figure of 85 (best in the field) on this track August 4.
