She'll have her hands full with the French filly who has been running like 5 class levels above this. . .

I agree, especially with the likely conditions. That being said, MPJ is the only one who can run with the French gal. I only hope PG1985 is out there punching out win bets on Receipt, who he believed should have been an easy winner last time out.

what's interesting about this filly is that in all of her races prior to her last start, she either steadied or had to veer off her course sharply.

What's actually more interesting than incidental trouble comments by the chartmaker is that this filly got much better trips her last two races than the runner up: she was inside, entering in the one path, while Namaste's Wish had to circle horses on the turn, and then came out significantly in the stretch forcing NW to alter course to her inside two back at BEL; then, had an inside trip to Much Obliged's wide trip and basically took advantage of that cement turf course at MTH by moving early and gaining an advantage on MO. And she was all out to just hold on. On a fair course, Much Obliged BURIES HER.

Apparantly race dynamics are not of much interest to you.

My Princess Jess moved extremely prematurely....and was much the best. Much Obliged couldn't beat her without an incident.

EDIT:

Race dynamics are certainly of interest to me. Of course, it's how one interprets the dynamics that really matters.

I choose not to take an obvious premature move at face value. I believe, contrarily, that, under the circumstances, moving early was an advantage.

That's what makes the game interesting.
