| POST | HORSE | TRAINER | JOCKEY | COMMENT | ODDS |
| 6 | Newspaperofrecord | Chad Brown | Irad Ortiz, Jr. | Potential star romped twice by six-plus lengths, trainer Chad Brown has won this race four times, including 3 of last 4 | 2-1 |
| 4 | Just Wonderful | Aidan O'Brien | Ryan Moore | Impressive European G2 winner tries to end Aidan O'Brien 0-for-11 drought this race, including three beaten favorites | 4-1 |
| 1 | Concrete Rose | Rusty Arnold | Jose Lezcano | Stepped up in class MSW to G2, stretched to two turns, crushed Keeneland stakes fillies, should fit against this cast | 6-1 |
| 5 | La Pelosa | Charlie Appleby | William Buick | G1 winner in North American debut in September, then returned to Europe, this will be her first race around two turns | 8-1 |
| 14 | East | Kevin Ryan | Jamie Spencer | Late start French campaign, 2 for 2, visually impressive G3 win last out vs. small field, drew undesirable post | 10-1 |
| 13 | My Gal Betty | Roger Attfield | Javier Castellano | Veered out in stretch or could have finished closer when second in G1 Natalma at Woodbine, skipped a final prep | 10-1 |
| 3 | Lily's Candle | Fabrice Vermeulen | Pierre-Charles Boudot | She fits if 27-1 upset victory in G1 Boussac at Longchamp was legitimate, although quality of the field she beat is open to critique | 12-1 |
| 2 | The Mackem Bullet | Brian Ellison | Oisin Murphy | A top sprinter in England, unraced beyond 6f, never raced around a corner, hope she handles first turn, lots to ask | 15-1 |
| 9 | Varenka | Graham Motion | Jose Ortiz | Stakes-placed maiden on the upswing, however she was soundly defeated by favorite Newspaperofrecord | 20-1 |
| 10 | Pakhet | Todd Pletcher | John Velazquez | Outran her odds finishing second to Concrete Rose, each start better than start before, price potential | 30-1 |
| 12 | Summering | Tom Proctor | Drayden Van Dyke | Flashy debut in summer, then ran virtually the same race in both subsequent starts, progress stalled | 30-1 |
| 8 | Belle Laura | Norm Casse | Julien Leparoux | Picked up the pieces finishing third in G3 Jessamine at Keeneland without mounting a serious challenge, she will rally late | 30-1 |
| 7 | Stellar Agent | Jorge Abreu | Manuel Franco | Sharp sprint debut followed by okay third behind Newspaperofrecord, in tough but in the race | 30-1 |
| 11 | Lady Prancealot | Richard Baltas | Joe Talamo | Late-runner compromised by race shape in both starts in California, both races won by pacesetter | 30-1 |
| Also-eligible, listed in order of preference by the Breeders' Cup Racing Directors/Secretaries Panel: | |||||
| 15 | Pivottina | Graham Motion | Joel Rosario | Also-eligible, purported "trouble" in North American debut perhaps overstated, must question her class | 30-1 |
| 16 | Winning Envelope | Chris Block | Carlos Marquez, Jr. | Also-eligible, romping allowance winner at Churchill, beat nobody but did it the right way, under the radar | 30-1 |
