Sweet Lulu vs Executiveprivlege vs My Happy Face. That is a pretty impressive lineup on it's own. My Happy Face is making her West Coast debut, Sweet Lulu finished fifth to Groupie Doll in the Breeders' Cup and Executiveprivlege finished fourth in October. Outside of the big three, the one to watch is Madame Cactus who won the Raven Run at Keeneland in her last. Journey On could be the dark horse as she has not finished out of the top 4 since her debut last year.

12 Our Double Play (KY) 3/C F C Torres 118 P A Bauer
It's great to have a big field. Flashback by far is the most well down in the race. Zazu's little brother was second on BC Friday in his return from injury. Holy Lute who had no business being in the BC Dirt Mile shortens up here. Zee Bros hasn't run since June, Distinctiv Passion could be a horse to watch in the future after finishing third behind the late Pointsoffthebench and Goldencents who won the Dirt Mile. Our Double Play was 7th in the Clark, but Prayer for Relief one of the two horses he finished in front of, won on Saturday. Demonic takes a big step up in class tomorrow as does Syndicated. Bakken is 2 for 2 in his career and makes his West Coast debut.
