Form Snapshot: She has won three times from 5f to 1m on good ground. Third of 6 behind Resolve beaten 3/4l at 12-1 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m 1f (good) in May. Difficult to assess after mixed efforts

Form Snapshot: She has won three times from 4f to 1m on the all-weather. Beaten 15l behind She's No Quant at 11-2 when seventh of 9 on her latest outing at Del Mar over 7f last month. Capable of bouncing back to best
Form Snapshot: She has won three times from 6f to 1m on good ground. Finished second but awarded race at Del Mar over 1m, when 16-5 (good) last month, beating Midnight Horizon by 1/2l. Has solid claims on recent showing

Form Snapshot: Successful at 1m and 1m 1f on good ground. Beaten 4 1/2l behind Long Mayshe Reign at 7-1 when 9th of 11 on her latest outing at Del Mar over 5f (good) last month. Best to avoid on poor recent runs
Form Snapshot: Successful twice at 1m on good ground. A winner at 18-1 at Del Mar over 1m (good) on her latest outing last month, beating Lanilla by 1/2l. Unlikely to cope with this company
Form Snapshot: She has won three times from 6f to 1m on good ground. Third of 10 behind Take Another Card beaten 1 1/4l at 18-1 on her latest outing at Del Mar over 1m (good) last month. Stands chance if building on progress

Form Snapshot: She has won three times from 6f to 1m on good ground. Beaten 5l behind Take Another Card at 17-2 when eighth of 10 on her latest outing at Del Mar over 1m (good) last month. Needs to find significant improvement
Verdict
GRAND SLAM SMILE has the class and experience to bounce back from a disappointing Grade 2 effort last time out. Take Another Card and Can't Sleep also merit consideration.
