Cassatt (Tapit): Monmouth Oaks winner in her last which was also her stakes debut. 3 of her starts have come this year, all of them wins. She hails from the same female family Dreaming of Anna and Kitten's Joy.
Sweet Reason (Street Sense): Winner of the Acorn and Test, was third in the Gazelle earlier this year as well. Better going one turn, but there really is no true prep for the F/M Sprint for 3yo's Fillies. Ran well in the Juvenile Fillies last year finishing 4th.
House Rules (Distorted Humor): Won an allowance after finishing 4th in the Mother Goose. 2nd in the Davona Dale and Gulfstream Oaks earlier this year. Orginally trained by Alan Jerkins, the father of her current trainer.
Joint Return (Include): The home track horse. 2nd in the Alabama and DE Oaks after winning the Our Mims. Trainer had the horse who brought this track to the forefront 10 years ago, she has lost only once at Parx.
Vero Amore (Mineshaft): Another local horse, and coming off a turf stakes where she finished last. 8th in the DE Oaks. Up against in this race.
Little Alexis (Mr. Greeley): Only three starts, but 2 of them are wins. 3rd in the Test last time out. Stretches out to 2 turns for the first time.
Jojo Warrior (Pioneerof the Nile): Winner of the Torrey Pines and Summertime Oaks. 1/2 to J Z Warrior. East Coast races haven't been the best.
Untapable (Tapit): 5th in the Haskell against the boys last time out. Before then hadn't lost since Hollywood Starlet as a 2yo. Wouldn't be surprised if she loses here.
Stopchargingmaria (Tale of the Cat): Winner of her last three including the Alabama. Might be a little too short for her. Last Alabama winner to win the Cotillion was Careless Jewel in 2009.

Win: Cassatt

California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit): 4th in the Belmont in his Triple Crown try. This is his first start since after taking the summer off. The first KY Derby winner to run at Parx after he won the Derby (Smarty Jones only ran at what then Philadelphia Park as a 2yo). He might need a race under his belt to get back to his pre Belmont form.
Candy Boy (Candy Ride (ARG)): 2nd in the West Virginia Derby and Los Alamitos Derby. Won the Lewis and 3rd in the SA Derby. Has been running against some top class horses.
Protonico (Giant's Causeway): 3rd in the Curlin and won the Smarty Jones in his last start. Didn't make his first start of the year until after the Triple Crown. Could be a threat.
Bayern (Offlee Wild): returns to his max distance after a disaster of a Travers. Haskell and Woody Stephens winner. Will try to lead them all the way.
Noble Moon (Malibu Moon): 4th in the King's Bishop after a 6th in the Wood Memorial. Won the Jerome earlier this year and was a bit of a buzz horse for the Derby. This will be his first start outside of New York.
Classic Giacnroll (Giacomo): The local, runner up in the Smarty Jones and 4th in the West Virginia Derby. Ran well in the Jerome and then up track in the Withers. Has 2 wins over the Parx surface.
Tapiture (Tapit): Winner of the Matt Winn and West Virginia Derby (by a nose). The third place finisher of the latter race came back to win the Super Derby. Outside of a 15th place finish in the KY Derby has never finished worse then 4th in his career.
C J's Awesome (Awesome Again): All 8 of his starts have been this year. Allowance win last time out at Saratoga. This is stakes debut.

I really wanted to do a video, but sadly I kept coughing while doing the preview, so scrapping it. Sorry!
