Prioress - I've always liked Secret Gypsy and I think she might round back into her maiden-breaking form for this. She'll be fit on the turn-back and 3rd off the lay-off at a distance that suits her speed. 10-1 would be a gift but even half that may be worth a play.
How do you think the Prioress plays out pacewise? I think Secret Gypsy is a key horse to this race as a legit filly to press Indian Blessing hard. I like the Dutrow's here expecially Anthony's horse, 1. Indian Way. I'm most impressed by her debut race where that bad break is usually a move that has horses running evenly and ending up at back of the pack. She broke well in start two and won like a champ. Big move from maiden to Grade 1 but these horses are lightly raced. The hot pace up front will not hold up and I believe this one could pick up the pieces.
