2OctaveTodd PletcherUnbridled's SongShe ran chasing slow fractions at Churchill before, biggest danger to her stablemate.
3Dreaming of AnnaWayne CatalanoRahyReturns to the scene of her greates effort off a big workout at Keeneland.
4High Heels Gary HartlageE DubaiHer Fantasy win was excellent and she handles Churchill Downs too.
5Cotton Blossom Todd PletcherBroken VowShe will have to bounce back in a big way to beat her barn mates.
6Tough Tiz's Sis Bob BaffertTiznowBaffert may find himself in the role of upsetter on May 4th.
7High Again Bill MottHigh YieldShe is back working well and just may not have cared for the polytrack.
8Mistical Plan Doug O'NeillGame PlanShe will have to settle early if she is to last down the long Churchill stretch.
