Interesting spot for Darley to have Marietta to try turf for the first time.

Black Mamba looks very tough with the two scratches. Tyler been riding very well on the turf lately.

I didn't know that Citronnade was probable to scratch. I just labored over how to get a few interesting horses into the mix and was reluctantly thinking I'd tri key Citronnade over three others, one of whom is Marietta, the reson I liked the race so much as I looked at the pp's

Marietta to win for me(box with Citro if that one stays in)

Has been working well. We'll see if she likes the turf

I agree with Black Mamba Kev.....two interesting one underneath are Dan Hendrick's #6 Lavendar Sky who has been working extremely well and may be ready to move forward at a price and #10 Trics Pic who may be ready to run a race similiar to her eaarly career.

With both big ones out of this one the exotics could be very kind...

Black Mamaba/Meribel,Memorette/LiveLife,Trick'sPic,Lavendar Sky

Even with Mamba on top this may pay well in Tri and Super...
