#1 – Sacred Wish
Off to a late start
Quickly proving she belongs
Stands a chance in here
#2 – Pate
Wintered at Oaklawn
Showed little in graded bow
One turn might be best
#3 – Hoosier Philly
An Oaks trail flameout
Has worked bullets at Churchill
It's turnaround time
#4 – Merlazza
The light's coming on
Rosario booked elsewhere
Not the greatest sign
#5 – Frosty O Toole
Tampa Bay standout
Graded debut stunted climb
Can't see it today
#6 – Miracle
SCRATCHED
#7 – Comparative
Clicking with Saez
A shining example of
Godolophin's deep bench
#8 – Balpool
Quiet ladder climb
Now faces its toughest rung
Worthy of a piece

Never left Bob's barn
Owner's a Baltimore guy
Entered with purpose
#10 – Taxed
If not for Wet Paint
She might have been Oaklawn's best
Some price potential
#11 – Cats Inthe Timber
A home-team hopeful
Will need a deeper gas tank
To win near the pace
#12 – Towhead
Big jockey pickup
Turf might be her best surface
Strange fit for this race
Prediction
Connections want this
Faiza wins like a good thing
One, three round it out
