Full Field Analysis

1. Rhaenyra (USA)

  • Jockey: Pietro Moran
  • Trainer: Kevin Attard
  • Pedigree: Reload × Starmaline (by Star Guitar)
  • Form: 3563×14
  • Record: 6: 1-0-2
  • Rating: 81
  • Insight: Homebred for Al and Bill Ulwelling, this filly broke her maiden impressively in April by 5¼ lengths. She disappointed last out but has the stride and build to handle turf. A bounce-back effort is expected.

2. Gretna Green (USA)

  • Jockey: Ryan Munger
  • Trainer: Michelle Love
  • Pedigree: Unknown
  • Form: 03×5
  • Record: 3: 0-0-1
  • Rating: 64
  • Insight: Lightly raced and still a maiden. Showed early speed last out before fading. Needs to improve significantly to contend at this level.

3. Zippy Gamble (USA)

  • Jockey: Fraser Aebly
  • Trainer: Kevin Attard
  • Pedigree: Gamble’s Exchange × Avie’s Zip (by City Zip)
  • Form: 343471×15
  • Record: 8: 2-0-2
  • Rating: 82
  • Insight: Most experienced filly in the field. Won her 3YO debut in May but had a troubled trip last out. First turf try, but her pedigree suggests she’ll handle it. Dangerous if she breaks cleanly.

4. Su Legado Vive (USA)

  • Jockey: Eswan Flores
  • Trainer: John Coryat
  • Pedigree: Unknown
  • Form: 3
  • Record: 1: 0-0-1
  • Rating: 79

5. Executive Success (USA)

  • Jockey: Sahin Civaci
  • Trainer: Martin Drexler
  • Pedigree: Unknown
  • Form: 221×1
  • Record: 4: 2-2-0
  • Rating: 92
  • Insight: Comes in off a sharp win and has never missed the exacta. Top speed figures in the field. If she handles the turf, she’s the one to beat.

6. Soupergirl (USA)

  • Jockey: Rafael Hernandez
  • Trainer: Martin Drexler
  • Pedigree: Unknown
  • Form: 129x
  • Record: 3: 1-1-0
  • Rating: 81
  • Insight: Returns from a 37-week layoff. Won on debut and has upside, but may need a race off the bench. Watch the tote for clues.
