I'm a little surprised she hasn't really improved at all since being in Pletcher's barn. I think she was better last year.

Groupie Doll is going to be tough to beat...but not impossible. For a crazy longshot, I might try and get Teddy's Promise in the money somehow. She's run well at Santa Anita, was part of a duel last time, where the horse she dueled with ended up finishing last and the horses who finished 1-3 were last and second to last early. Plus, she's run well going turf/synth to dirt on the past. She needs a lot of help and has little chance to win, but could spice up an exotic.
