Was thinking the same thing. Only one who could conceivably run with her is the 10, but that's no lock with her trying turf for the first time and breaking from the far outside. Stay Composed has dirtied up form and will be really tough to catch from the rail on the cutback if she gets anything close to a breather early.

my opinion is to stay alive.. using 3-8 in the first leg is one way to do it.many of these have prior races..yes pleacher can dust them .but are willing to lose any chance over babys that can do anything..

What's the Turf work on 7/9 for the Goldberg runner mean? Nothing?

She has terrific turf breeding for an American 2-year-old, so see what she's got on the grass and keep your options open maybe? Looks like they think she's better on dirt at this point since they came right back to it and she responded with two quick breezes.

they may have had a string on the turf course..no telling..but its easy on the feet.

I suggest people go watch Barrel of Love's most recent race. He had a hilariously bad trip in the stretch and still somehow got up to win. If he carries that form to two turns he's a major threat to Ampersand.

I think that race is very wide open. Any number of them can win, IMO.

If she would relax on the lead she could steal but have a feeling the #10 will be right at her flank and willing to take a shot the #10 takes to the turf at juicy odds.

I think Gimme Credit is a must use in the 6th. Although the old guy may have lost a step, and may need more time to get going, I thought he ran quite well in his last, and I think with the time off, he will be ready to run his best today.

I also think Stay Composed is very dangerous in the 7th as lone speed and cutting back just a bit to 5.5.
