Eight likely for Queen Elizabeth II

Stephanie's Kitten garnered major wins in the Grade 1 Alcibiades on

Keeneland's Polytrack and the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf last year. The

Wayne Catalano trainee registered her first victory this season in the May 4

Edgewood Stakes at Churchill Downs and followed it with a troubled fourth,

beaten only a half-length, in the Lake George. Stephanie's Kitten rebounded in

the Lake Placid, scoring comfortably by a half-length, and John Velazquez will

retain the mount on the daughter of Kitten's Joy.

Dayatthespa has not lost since an unplaced effort in the 2011 Juvenile

Fillies Turf and will bring a four-race win streak into the 1 1/8-mile Queen

Elizabeth. Also conditioned by Brown, the City Zip filly opened 2012 with

victories in the Sweetest Chant and Grade 3 Herecomesthebride at Gulfstream

Park, and then rolled to a 2 3/4-length decision in the Grade 3 Appalachian

Stakes at Keeneland in April. After being freshened four months, she returned

with another easy tally in the August 31 Riskaverse Stakes at Saratoga. Javier

Castellano is her regular rider.

Other likely entries include Lake George winner and Lake Placid runner-up

Centre Court; Keeneland stakes winner and Garden City runner-up Somali Lemonade;

Grade 2 winner Better Lucky; Irish Group 3 vixen and Garden City third-placer

Tannery; and Grade 3-placed Treasured Up.
