i like flat out, but i don't think i'd bet him in this race.

A lot of speed in the Distaff.

Remember when Royal Delta had a mid-pack to stretch-running style back in her days for Lezcano?

Her best chance will be if she's able to revert back to that.

And the only reason she was so close to the early pace this race, was because it was a brutally slow pace.

I don't believe they are confident she can pass horses, else I highly doubt they would have sent her after On Fire Baby as aggressively as they did in the Personal Ensign. I would guess that, in retrospect, they wish they had sent her harder in the Beldame. She may be braver at a higher cruising speed.

Ok in the last 23 months, my point was since she has aged she has lacked stretch punch to rally past horses.
