Race 7 - Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (Grade 1)

Off time: 21:34 | Winning time: -

(1)

Donna Veloce³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Flavien Prat| T: S Callaghan| OR: 119

5/2

Could hardly have been more impressive when bolting up on debut last month. Upped in trip but rates as a very exciting prospect and she's not one to underestimate on just her second start.

Form: 1

(2)

Two Sixty³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Edgard Zayas| T: Mark Casse| OR: 89| D

25/1

Got her head back in front with a smart performance at Gulfstream Park last time. Needs more against these but still improving.

Form: 1301

(3)

Perfect Alibi²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Irad Ortiz Jr| T: Mark Casse| OR: 98

20/1

Won the Spinaway Stakes at Saratoga , a second Graded success but she proved no match for British Idiom last time out in a Keeneland Grade 1; solid form but hard to see her reversing placings.

Form: 12112

(4)

British Idiom²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Javier Castellano| T: B Cox| OR: 94| D

11/4

Made it two wins from two starts by landing a Grade 1 at Keeneland last time, beating Perfect Alibi by 6½L. Could well have more to give at this sort of trip and less exposed than some.

Form: 11

(5)

Lazy Daisy⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Rafael Bejarano| T: Doug O'Neill| OR: 94| D

28/1

Winner on debut at Del Mar and while no match for Bast in a Grade 1 back at that venue last month, she gained compensation when winning a Grade 2 at Churchill Downs last time; remains capable of better.

Form: 141

(6)

Bast³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: John Velazquez| T: Bob Baffert| OR: 108| D

4/1

Ran well when runner-up on debut and confirmed the promise of that run with an impressive Grade 1 success at Del Mar last month. Stayed on gamely to win a C&D Grade 1 last time out and may yet have more to give.

Form: 211

(7)

Wicked Whisper²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Joel Rosario| T: Steven Asmussen| OR: 98| D

4/1

Unbeaten in two starts and never saw a rival when winning a Grade 1 at Belmont Park in good style last time out. Solid form and rates as live contender if she improves for the run.

Form: 11

(8)

K P Dreamin³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Ruben Fuentes| T: Jeff Mullins| OR: 97| D

40/1

Improved from debut to win at Del Mar next time out but no match for Bast last time out in a C&D Grade 1. This is tougher.

Form: 413

(9)

Comical³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Abel Cedillo| T: Doug O'Neill| OR: 96

14/1

Winner on debut and best effort since when runner-up to Bast last time out in a C&D Grade 1. Had the run of the race that day and might not be able to dominate from this draw.

Form: 11632

Forecasts

Donna Veloce (5/2), British Idiom (11/4), Bast (4/1), Wicked Whisper (4/1), Comical (14/1), Perfect Alibi (20/1), Two Sixty (25/1), Lazy Daisy (28/1), K P Dreamin (40/1)

An intriguing renewal but there was enough to like about DONNA VELOCE's debut to suggest she could be a top class filly and she shades the vote. Wicked Whisper and Bast rate as the main dangers with solid form in the book.
