Lovely Bernadette 5-1

James DiVito trained filly has five wins and three third-place finishes in his 12 career starts. She arrives off a good win in the listed $200,000 Indiana Grand Stakes September 6 which followed an OK third right behind Fault and Journey Home in the G3 Pucker Up Stakes at Arlington August 12, a third in the minor TaWee Stakes at Indiana Grand July 20 and an Allowance Optional Claiming score at Churchill Downs June 8. She didn't look great in her two previous graded stakes starts - a thirteenth in the G2 Eight Belles Stakes May 5 and an eleventh in the G3 Honeybee Stakes this past spring. Lovely Bernadette has been improving ahead of this weekend and will chase a first graded stakes score from the rail. Florent Geroux rides the tepid morning line favorite.

Fault 6-1

Michelle Lovell trained filly has hit the board in eight of 10 career starts - three wins, three seconds and two third-place finishes. She arrives off a decent third behind recent G1 winner La Coronel in the G2 Sands Point Stakes at Belmont Park September 16, a career-best outing - a win in the G3 Pucker Up Stakes at Arlington August 12 and three straight runner-up finishes including the minor TaWee Stakes at Indiana Grand July 20. Fault has placed in six straight races but has yet to post a stakes score. Brian Joseph Hernandez has been tabbed with changing all of that from post 7.

Journey Home 6-1

Has three wins and a second-place finish in eight career starts for trainer Graham Motion. She arrives off a respectable second, a neck behind Fault in the G3 Pucker Up Stakes at Arlington August 12 which followed a disappointing eighth in the G1 Belmont Oaks Invitational July 8 and one of her wins - the minor Christiana Stakes at Delaware Park June 14. Before that win was an eighth in the G3 Edgewood Stakes at Churchill Downs May 5 and another eighth in the G3 Appalachian Stakes at Keeneland April 13. She won her first two career starts - the best of which coming in the G3 Jimmy Durante Stakes at Del Mar in November. Journey Home has shown form in the past but has failed to place in three of her last four graded stakes tries. She tries to build off a reasonable runner-up finish however from post 9 with Jose Ortiz guiding the co-second choice.

Sweeping Paddy 8-1

Dale Romans trained filly has two wins, a second and two third place finishes in 10 career starts.

Before that was an OK third in the G3 Edgewood Stakes on that track May 5, a second in an Allowance April 7, a sixth in the G3 Herecomesthebride Stakes in March, a seventh in an Allowance Optional Claiming in January and an eighth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies in November. Sweeping Paddy had been trending upward before a major hiccup last time out and will be after a strong bounce back from post 11. Robby Albarado is scheduled to ride.

I'm Betty G 8-1

Michael Maker trained filly has two wins, a second and a third-place finish in seven career starts. She wasn't great to starts her career but has been decent in her last four starts overall.

Before that was a disappointing thirteenth in her only graded stakes action - the G3 Edgewood Stakes at Churchill Downs in May and podium finishes in four straight MSW races. Outside of one bad effort Youngest Daughter has been competitive the last year and will chase a first graded stakes score from gate 8. Jon Kenton Court has the mount.

Chastise 8-1

Has four career starts for trainer Todd Pletcher with two wins and a third-place finish. She makes her stakes debut Friday off an Allowance score at Saratoga August 19, a sixth in a similar race on this track last October 26 and a maiden score here October 12, 2016.

She arrives off a nice win on the listed La Lorgnette Stakes at Woodbine September 30, a sixth in the minor Riskaverse Stakes August 24 and a fifth in the listed Coronation Cup July 31 - both at Saratoga. She finished second in the G3 Mazarine Stakes at Woodbine last October and also posted a win on that track in the listed Glorious Song Stakes in November but followed that with a ninth in the G2 Eight Belles Stakes at Churchill Downs in May.

British bred Ignacio Correas trained filly has two wins and two second-place finishes in six career starts. She enters off a decent second in the minor Riskaverse Stakes at Saratoga August 24 after a fifth in the G3 Lake George Stakes on that track July 21 and another less-than-spectacular fifth in her stakes debut - the G3 Regret Stakes at Churchill Downs June 17. She also had a second in an Allowance on that track May 29 and two wins at home to start her career. Frizzy Friday has been a tad tough to figure out and will chase a first stakes score from gate 12 Friday. Ricardo Santana will be in the irons.

Princess La Quinta 20-1

James Gulick trained filly has placed in six of 10 career starts - two wins, a second and three third-place finishes.

Before that was a second in a similar race on that track in June and a maiden score at Arlington in May. Princess La Quinta was good against lesser competition but has struggled in her only two steps up so far. Jockey Carlos Marquez Jr. will try to change all of that from gate 4.

Sully's Dream 20-1

John Alexander Ortiz trained filly has 11 career starts with three wins and a third-place finish.
