Suroor's entry should give them a furlong head start to make it somewhat interesting.

I've been a huge fan of Lil Belle but she will be off her game in this. Hasn't run since the Ken Oaks and only recently started back in late June with only three works going in here. She won't be fit for this and they are probably using her to help Music Note. They aren't even running Lil Belle under Godolphin. First race off of the "promotion" is never a good angle either.

They are running Little Belle under Godolphin according to the PP's. I think she's an utter mediocrity that got fortunate with the poly-aided Gr. I.

I'd love to see a Little Belle/Christmas Kid match race.

Amen to that. Where is her good race?

Acoma may be a LOT better than people are giving her credit for.

"Utter Mediocrity" Darn! Unfortunately her promotion will ensure we won't find out how capable she is or isn't.
