As far as Access Fee, she is clearly in career best form right now and she is working beautifully for this effort. Dream Rush seems to have had some of the runaway speed she showed in the past trained out of her as she's rated in her last two starts. That might be significant for AF because she'll really have to deal only with Now It Begins, who she handled easily last time out.

Dream Rush was always speed when she was in top form. Perhaps she's lost a step? West Point made a killing with her during her 3 year old season and sold at the right time. If you look at the 5/25/08 race at Belmont that was a terrible race for DR. As bad as it looks on paper it was even worse watching.

Maybe Access Fee is the one to beat. She has never run a bad race and the off the board finish on the IDT @ Aqueduct she ran wide into fast fractions and had the lead before tiring late. Laurel is her home track.
