Most of those were at 8.5f, so she might appreciate the cutback, particularly if she settles a bit further off the pace than she does in the routes. Been working well in CA for Hollendorfer and Bejarano is familiar with her.

Use Sindy With An S. and Glorified in the exotics. Pinata is the big bomb for the multi-horse bets, she always leaves herself way too much to do, but in this extended sprint, with a bunch of speed, and dubious talent lining up, she could chug along for 4th or maybe even 3rd.

Agree, in 7 furlong races most players are looking for the late running sprinter and forget about the speed.
