Awesome Ashley

[Rupert Pupkin]

Awesome Ashley looks like a solid contender today but she is far from a lock. She had a little trouble first-time out but Bitter Lemon had a ton of trouble in that race too. Bitter Lemon figures to keep improving the further she runs. The added distance should help her today.

County Leitrim could be a sleeper in here. She's definitely better than she showed first time out. She worked very well at the FT Calder sale but she had bad ankles.

With regard to Seattle, even if AA wins I don't think that will do much for him. Having a 4-5 shot that wins isn't going to do much for you. If you can come up with a 10-1 shot that wins, that may give you some spending money for a while. AA is not a good bet at 3-5 or whatever ridiculous price she goes off at. She may win but she's no bargain at that price. She's far from a lock.
