I've got a really good problem this year. My roster of 3YO fillies have been tearing it up on track so far, but it's led to an issue - I can only enter two in the Oaks. I've settled on one for sure to run in the Oaks (Meowth), which leaves me with the following three of which only one more can enter. The two that I don't run in the Oaks will take a shot in the Derby.
My question - which filly below most belongs in the Oaks, and which in the Derby?
Sage of Time - Unbeaten so far although against weaker company. 1/2 sister to Kryptonite and I think she's still got room to imrpove.
Dreams Come True - Daughter of Into The Unknown has been posting some giant speed figures as of late that would put her right there. Distance questions from the dam, but may be mitigated from the sire.
Bewitching - A few frustrating runner up finishes aside, I think she'll relish the extra distance as a full sister to Henry. Derby would have been a slam dunk, but more losses than wins gives me pause.
Any thoughts?

Re: A 3YO Filly Conundrum
Imo you should run Bewitching in the Derby, since there is speed on speed on speed in that race, and she would be a beneficiary. Is she in the same class as some of these? I don't think so. But is it worth it to take a shot? Abso-freaking-lutely.
Dreams Come True might burn out on the front end with some of the others, but she is easily the best of the three you listed, and she deserves a shot at the big one. Hell, I'd run her in Baltimore, too.
