Tactical edge again belongs to Baffert filly that we loved in the El Encino. Interesting horse here is of course Shirreffs-Wygod Dynaformer miss that aced the QE II Cup last fall and tries dirt for the first time. Has been working very well over it, and may have been speed-sharpened by the 1:10.4 bullet 2 weeks ago..
