Gimme A Nother⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: John Velazquez| T: H Motion| OR: 112| D

12/1

A prolific winner when trained in her native South Africa, took her time to acclimatise to her new surroundings but the penny has finally dropped, completing the 4-timer in E. P. Taylor Stakes at Woodbine in September. Has a bit to find on bare form.

Form: 721-111

Classic Q²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Javier Castellano| T: Mark Casse| OR: 114

33/1

A much-improved filly this year, scoring 3 times from 6 starts, all at 1m. Two of those victories have come at Grade 1 level in the Just A Game at Saratoga and First Lady at Keeneland. Among the best of the home team and entitled to be in the mix if coping with the extra distance.

Form: 021131

Red Letter⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: Ger Lyons| OR: 110| D

20/1

A Group 3 winner in her native Ireland last year and, while failing to add to that this season, has run creditably in defeat. Third behind Oaks winner Thundering On in Blandford Stakes at the Curragh last time. Keane unsurprisingly prefers Blue Bolt.

Form: 3-32363

Kathynmarissa³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Jose Ortiz| T: Chad Brown| OR: 110| D

13/2

Smart mare with 3 wins from 4 runs this year. Gained a Grade 1 success in the Diana at Saratoga in July before a break and returned with victory in Grade 2 Flower Bowl Stakes at Belmont. Represents top turf trainer who has won this a record 4 times.

Form: 51-1311

Bless The Broken²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B Cox| OR: 110

25/1

Has been highly tried on the dirt and made the perfect start on turf when winning Grade 2 Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf Stakes in September. Backed that up with a fine third in the First Lady at this course recently but has to turn form around with Classic Q and Lush Lips.

Form: 232413

Jancis⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 123| D

16/1

Returned with a career-best effort when winning Group 2 at Newmarket in May. Failed to add to that but made the places in Duke of Cambridge at Royal Ascot in June and in E. P. Taylor Stakes at Woodbine last month. Can make presence felt.

Form: 2-15253

Expensive Queen²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Luis Saez| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 111

33/1

Proved a different proposition for this yard having previously been trained in Britain, winning 4 of her 6 starts in the US, including the Jenny Wiley at this course in April. Beaten less than 2 lengths when sixth of 10 behind Classic Q in the First Lady here on return earlier in the month.

Form: 14-1116

Precise²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 115

4/1

Dual Group 1 winning juvenile who added to that with success in Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh and Coronation at Royal Ascot at the beginning of the season. Only one blip since and proved her effectiveness over longer trips when second in Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp last time.

Form: 122352

Blue Bolt²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Colin Keane| T: A M Balding| OR: 119

1/1

Unbeaten in 6 outings this season, with her last 4 all coming at the highest level, sweeping all before her in the fillies' miling division. Hasn't been handed an advantageous draw on first go beyond a mile, but she's the form pick.

Form: 111111

Lush Lips²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Tyler Gaffalione| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 113| BF| D

20/1

Grade 1 winner last season who's only been seen on 3 occasions in 2026. Returned when scoring in a Grade 3 at Gulfstream and has found only one too good on last 2 starts, beaten a short-head behind Classic Q in First Lady here 4 weeks ago. May need a few to falter.

Form: 211-122

(14)

Stellify⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Flavien Prat| T: B Cox| OR: 112| D

20/1

Came into this last year on the back of a 4-timer and finished in mid-division. Built on her reappearance to win Grade 3 Ladies Marathon Stakes at Kentucky Downs in September in good style. Others more persuasive.

Form: 1117-41

Vina Arana²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Adam Beschizza| T: J Sisterson| OR: 109

66/1

Improved to win a Grade 2 at Woodbine in July and ran best race when 1¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Classic Q in the First Lady at this course 4 weeks ago. Will need even more to feature in this.

Forecasts

Blue Bolt (1/1), Precise (4/1), Kathynmarissa (13/2), Gimme A Nother (12/1), Jancis (16/1), Thought Process (16/1), Red Letter (20/1), Stellify (20/1), Lush Lips (20/1), Bless The Broken (25/1), Evershed (30/1), Expensive Queen (33/1), Classic Q (33/1), Eccentric (33/1), Vina Arana (66/1)

The home team have a numerical advantage but it's the British/Irish raiders that have the edge on form, led by BLUE BLOT who is trying a new trip but boasts an unbeaten record this season. Precise has been maintaining a smart level of form and should be thereabouts again, while Jancis can back up her recent third in Canada.
