Unchained Melody, if she can handle the distance, jogs on this biased track.

The 3 inside horses potentially have enough speed to secure the rail early.

Holy Helena's maiden win (i.e., her most recent dirt start), had 1/2 mile and 3/4 fractions comparable to every sprint on the card that day, including a 6f optional claimer $62.5K for older males. Her race was 8.5f and she dueled for the lead.

It Tiz Well has been sharp early as of late and has displayed CA-style sprint speed in the past. New Money Honey runs on dirt for the first time and with the rail draw may try to send to avoid dirt in the face. Many Medaglia D'Oros tend to be one-paced but blessed with natural speed and this filly is closely related to frontrunner Bohemian Lady and Any Given Saturday.

TF has her with a very clear lead, but you could be right with the riders finally figuring out that the inside is overpowering it may change things.

I bet the 3, Elate was better but it was the dream setup.

Did you hear she was intimidated in her last race? I heard Greg Wolf mention it 75 times the past week of telecasts.

Ive been a fan. I think her maiden win signaled she was very good, then a lot went wrong. Her last 2 feel like the real Elate.

She did plenty of jogging, blew my $50 win bankroll builder bet on her on the same logic, didn't realize she was going to literally jog around the track.
