Key contenders in the 2017 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf

Key contenders in the 2017 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf.

Happily, by Galileo

* The only two-time Group 1 winner in the field, Happily represents trainer Aidan O’Brien’s best chance.

* She beat males in the Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on Oct. 1 at Chantilly, despite taking a bump early in the one-mile race.

* Look for her to be near the front from post 2.

Ultima D, by Scat Daddy
Last 3 Beyers: 72-72-52

* Ultima D will race at a mile for the first time in the Juvenile Fillies Turf, and for the first time since a win in the Juvenile Fillies Stakes at seven furlongs on turf Sept. 6 at Kentucky Downs.

* Ultima D is quick and will be the one to catch. The distance will be a test, though.

Significant Form, by Creative Cause
Last 2 Beyers: 78-70

* Significant Form finished first in a maiden race Aug. 27 at Saratoga but was disqualified and placed seventh for interference. She more than made amends with a one-length win in the Grade 3 Miss Grillo Stakes on Oct. 1 at Belmont Park, beating Best Performance and Orbolution.

* Significant Form has a stalking style that could be effective in this large field.

Rushing Fall, by More Than Ready
Last 2 Beyers: 84-85

* Unbeaten in two starts, and a deserving favorite, Rushing Fall won her stakes debut in the Grade 3 Jessamine Stakes at 1 1/16 miles on turf by 3 1/4 lengths Oct. 11 at Keeneland.

* She won her debut in a maiden race Sept. 16 at Belmont Park.

* Rushing Fall tends to come from well off the pace.

Juliet Capulet, by Dark Angel

* Juliet Capulet won the first stakes of her career in the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at seven furlongs Sept. 29 at Newmarket, England. The race had an uphill finish, which should bode well for her first attempt at a mile.

* Juliet Capulet was unlucky at the draw and will start from post 13.
