2. Live Life (FR), 123, Patrick A. Valenzuela
3. Bond Deal (IRE), 123, Jose Valdivia, Jr.
4. Moscow Burning (CA), 123, Norberto Arroyo, Jr.
5. Sohgol (IRE), 123, G. F. Almeida
6. Singalong (GB), 123, David R. Flores

First time older horses is always tough to overcome. She might look best on paper but I wouldn't bet her in this spot.

Its one of those cases where I wouldn't bet her due to the low price, but I really like that filly and think that she'll win. Lets say i wouldn't bet against her either, el paso for me on that race.

I think she's looking at third at best, behind Amorama and Three Degrees. Also wouldn't count out Moscow Burning and Live Life.

i look at it this way. i think wait a while is a serious threat in the f&m turf. i don't feel that way about any other horse in this field. she'll be a short price so you won't make any money betting on her but i think she's an absolute single.
