Top Decile, the runner-up in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1), has been installed as the morning line favorite at 8-5 for her sophomore debut. Purchased for $110,000 as a yearling, the chestnut daughter of Congrats broke her maiden at first asking for trainer Albert Stall. She was second in her next start, beaten only half a length in the Alcibiades (G1), before heading on to the Breeders’ Cup. Mike Smith will be aboard and they will break from the outside post.
The undefeated West Coast Belle is the second choice on the morning line at 2-1 for trainer Wayne Catalano. A homebred daughter of Tapit for owners Gary and Mary West, she was a perfect three for three as a juvenile. After breaking her maiden in her debut, she won both the Rags to Riches Stakes and the Golden Rod (G2). Shaun Bridgmohan, aboard for her graded stakes win last out, will be back aboard and they will break from post two.
Also in the field at morning line odds of 6-1 is Forever Unbridled for trainer Dallas Stewart. Bred and owned by Charles Fipke, she is a full-sister to the 2014 winner of the Silverbulletday Stakes, Unbridled Forever. She is taking on winners for the first time after breaking her maiden in her second career start as the heavy favorite. She has had a bullet workout since that win and will have Brian Hernandez, Jr. back aboard from post five.
