She's also posted an impressive 10 1/4 length maiden score at 6 1/2 furlongs at Del Mar November 26 and a second as 1-5 favorite in her debut - on this track back in June.

Noted And Quoted - has two wins in five career starts for trainer Bob Baffert. She was fourth in her debut July 16, broke maiden August 7 and followed that with a fourth in the G1 Del Mar Debutante September 3 - all results at Del Mar. She broke through with a terrific win at 7-1 odds on this track in the G1 Chandelier Stakes October 1 but most recently fell back to earth with a seventh after setting the pace and tiring badly as favorite in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies November 5. Noted and Quoted had been trending upward before a disappointment last time out and will be out to prove that result was the exception, not the norm. Martin Garcia has been tabbed to ride from gate 6.

Tap It All - has 11 career starts already for trainer Doug O'Neill with two wins, three seconds and two third place finishes.

Spooky Woods - Jerry Hollendorfer trained filly has placed in four of five career starts - one win, two seconds and a third place finish.
