I wouldn't use the word dreadful to describe Seattle Smooth's win last time out, since she was bottled up most of the race. Granted it wasn't exactly pretty, but she did get the job done.

I'm thinking Music Note is using this race as a prep. Or, more precisely, her connections are. This distance seems short and it is off the layoff.

As for her running even close to last year, Seattle Smooth whipped Proud Spell last year, and I'm sure you recall Proud Spell's races with Music Note.

I don't really care about Seventh Street getting an easy lead last time either. I think she's a better horse than anything else in this race.
