Key contenders for 2018 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf

NEWSPAPEROFRECORD, by Lope de Vega
Beyers: 88-78
* Trainer Chad Brown won this race two and four years ago with horses on the same pattern – maiden victory at Saratoga, win in the Miss Grillo.
* Already has two wins on yielding turf, and wet conditions shouldn’t bother her
* Forward running style in a race without obvious real speed will keep her out of trouble without leading to a front-end duel
CONCRETE ROSE, by Twirling Candy
Beyers: 78-82
* Like Newspaperofrecord she is 2 for 2 with eye-catching wins, but will be a much bigger price than her.
* Very late to change leads in debut, but was better at Keeneland, though still a bit green with room to improve.
* Has gotten good setups in both her races, but gets credit for capitalizing.
* Trainer Rusty Arnold so far in Breeders’ Cup is 9-0-0-0.

LILY’S CANDLE, by Style Vendome
Last 3 Beyers: NA-NA-NA
* A gray bundle of energy training this week, she finally had her first settled, uneventful morning on Wednesday.
* Emerged from obscurity (the trainer rarely plays at the top of the game) to win the Group 1 Marcel Boussac on the Arc undercard, but that race appeared to be substandard this year.
* Has won over rain-softened courses in France.
LA PELOSA, by Dandy Man
Beyer: 79-NA-NA
* England-based Godolphin filly already has shipped to North America with success, winning the Grade 1 Natalma at Woodbine in her last start.
* Got an ideal setup at Woodbine closing into a heated early and middle pace.
* No experience on softer turf courses and yet to try two turns.
