This three year old TAPIT filly out of the Sim Mare EGYPTIAN GIRL has finished in the money in four of her six career starts including two wins. Tow back she competed in the G3 “Natalie” and ran 87 speed there and finished in sixth place. She followed that up in New Jersey at the mile “Nexus Ribbon Turf Juvenile Fillies” where she finished in third and was beaten by four lengths. She will need a big jump in speed here I think to get the job done and unfortunately I think she may be overmatched.

This three year old scratch bred ZOUSTAR (x DEPUTY MINISTER x STREET CRY) filly has two wins in two starts with the most recent being an 89 speed victory at this same distance and track. She has come from the back of the pack in both of her starts and will likely use similar tactics here against this impressive group.

This three year old FIGHTING IRISH filly out of the Sim Mare WAR SLEW began her career last June and has raced nine times in six and a half months but has flourished with the bust schedule. She has finished in the money in all of her starts including a 95 speed runner-up finish in her debut as a three year old on New Year’s Day. Can she stay successful on two weeks rest? The odds maker seems to think so as she goes off as the co-favorite and will certainly be one to watch as they come down the stretch.

p omstar                                 5/2

This three year old DUBAWI filly out of the Sim Mare MOON ON FIRE has gone undefeated in her first three career starts and blazed 9 speed last time out. Her last two wins came at eight and a half furlongs and I think the ownership group may even be able to stretch her out more in the future. She should like this distance and goes off as one of the favorites and may be tough to beat.

This three year old UNCLE MO filly out of the Sim Mare CRESTS THE SHADOWS comes in off back to back turf wins after starting her career with three straight races on the dirt. She finished off her two-year old campaign at Woodbine Raceway in Ontario in late November when she ran 86 speed and won by just a head. She may return to the dirt in the future but will give here all here today and will hope to find a spot on the board.

This three year old PRIDE OF DUBAI filly out of the Sim Mare LUCKY’S BOBBY has finished in the money in four of her six career starts and comes in HOT with back to back wins at this same distance. She ran big 89 speed last time out and comes in well rested and could surprise with 100+ speed as she competes out of gate number one. She should be in the mix and a those odds should garner lots of interest at the betting windows.
