I can understand using her if you are going very deep here (which might make sense) but she is the exact type of horse exiting the Catalano barn that I typically toss in a spot such as this one. Just my opinion.
when it jumps up to bite me in the butt, i'll remember your advice...but i have to head to work, and sure don't have time to go back over it-and won't have time once i get to work either....

i did this yesterday morning as soon as i saw it posted-didn't pay attention to the date on the races, and thought it was for yesterday pm! duh...

Looks like 2 are, I don't know what they liked about that 10, but nice job including. The 11 had every opportunity and no excuse for not going by the 10.

I agree, I found nothing enticing about the 10. Good job to those 2 who had him....
