Originally, I thought it was silly to run her, but seeing as though she seems fit and ready to go, I have to like Dreaming of Anna from a handicapping standpoint. She has a great post and shouldn't have too much pressure on the front other than Mistical Plan. I don't foresee them going crazy out there. If you discount her two starts earlier this year in which Calabrese cites a big @$$ and lady issues as the cause, she is just as talented as Rags to Riches in my opinion. Her affinity for the surface doesn't hurt either.
My main pick sides with my man Tiznow and his girl Tough Tiz's Sis. She's going to put Sunland Park on the map! hehe. I'll play a special Tiznow/Tiznow Oaks/Derby double with she and Liquidity just for kicks. I'm hoping that Baffert can make a splash in the Oaks to overcome his absence in the Derby. I'd enjoy seeing this result.
