I agree about her chances. There is not much speed signed on in the race, so Tyler Baze should have her prominent early and get the jump on the deep closers exiting the San Clemente. The key will be what Matt Garcia does with Strawberry Tart. Based upon those Oaklawn sprints she won earlier this year, it is obvious she could set the pace in the Oaks without being pushed along much. But she has been taken back in her three turf starts, so they will probably do the same thing with her in the Oaks.

Let's be honest this race is only a grade 1 in name, the jump up in class for most of these is minimal. Turf beyers are deceptive anyway but a 90 today should be close to getting the job done. Tyler doesn't have to steal this race, I would hope he gives her a covered up rail ride behind horses and have enough accerlation to get the jump on the deeper closers.

which other non grade 1 turf races restricted to three year old fillies would you like to see instead of this one?

My post was mean't from strictly a handicapping point of view, there are many races that are gr.1 in name only nowadays, as long as there are significant betting choices most horseracing fans don't really care for the quality of horses. I guess I am somewhere in the middle on that one.

This is actually a good betting race if you have any reason to doubt the favorite.

players - dont care about grades

fans - care a little

There are no standouts in this field, it's a fun race that will probably be decided by the best trip.
