Happily comes in with earnings of $557,745 and 4 wins from 6 starts, making her the top contender for the crown. The Adian O’Brien trained Irish filly, won the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère (G1) at Chantilly in October. Her comfort on the track, makes her the favourite to win. Her closest competitor is the Team Valor owned Capala Temptress, who seems more comfortable on the American ground. Whereas Happily races in America for the first time. A racetrack rumour suggests that she had a tough time in France and could be challenged greatly at the Del Mar track.

Another filly with stars in her eyes, is Chad Brown-trained filly, Rushing Fall who has won both her starts. In her immediate wake were Best Performance and Orbolution, who have also made their way to Del Mar.
