Quite the opposite here, she doesn't have 6 furlong speed, she has 8f or 9f speed.

I am going deep in this race because I think she might be beatable here, might use all.

I also think Street Magician might be a good bet against tomorrow as his first race, to me, looked like a gutter, and he is coming back awful fast....

I disagree. First time out on a sloppy track she went 22.2 and 45.3

Second time out (granted on turf), she went 21.2 and 43.4

I'm pretty sure she's set for 6f speed if she needs it. Is she going to run 43.4 tomorrow and win? Probably not. It's a moot point though because she's not going to be freewheeling up front I don't think.

But she can move. None of the others in here seem to have shown any faster "6 furlong" speed, so I'm not quite sure what kind of speed you're seeing her lacking.

You realize that was when she was a baby, she is grown up now...back then, that was her capability, only because that was the option

Tomorrow is fishy, that is all I am saying
