Top Kentucky Oaks Hopefuls

Fillies of 2009 As Ranked By The System

1. My Miss Aurelia
Unanimously #1.

2.Grace Hall
Not an ideal trip in the BC against #1. Have to imagine connections are looking forward to a 2012 rematch.

3. Disposable Pleasure
Probably the best Giacomo I've ever seen. Made an eye-Catching move in her stakes debut and seemed to naturally get herself involved. Tough and now battle-tested after a disastrous trip. Now needs litmus test from the 'Big Girls'.

4. Charm The Maker
Good for the connections for skipping BC after only beaten a length in Oak Leaf. Give daughter of Giant's Causeway the extra week and lighter spot and now she's a stakes winner. Some maturity issues to iron out but potential is there.

5. One Fire Baby
Swept Churchill Fall stakes, but she sits fourth here. Probably not getting enough respect from us, but I still see her having a shorter ceiling than the tops.
