Henry aboard .\u00a0 This mare has had quite a career 51 : 11-14-3 and has won her last 3 starts in Allowance company . At the age of 6 i think her best days are behind her but her iron will is as strong as it ever was , perhaps she has one last great run left in her legs .<\/DIV>

This 3 yo filly had an outstanding 2 yo season winning 3 of 4 starts .\u00a0 This year she wins 3 starts again including her masterful romp in\u00a0 the Wooly Mammoth BB Oaks<\/U> -G2 week 2930 where she ran down a class crowd to the tune of a 107 SP career high effort over\u00a0 8.5 furlongs .\u00a0 Her 2 other wins this year were over today’s one mile distance and i believe she has a most admirable chance of making it 4 wins today .<\/DIV>

Epcot .\u00a0 This multiple stakes winning mare has had quite a busy career\u00a047 :\u00a0 12-5-7 .\u00a0 Just 5 starts this year has garnered her a win and a show in stakes company and has yet to break into a triple digit SP effort on the season .\u00a0 She may be out of her depth this week although past performances show her love for the distance .\u00a0 I will certainly cheer for her on the second turn .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 7 ridden by fresh faced S .

Battle tested veteran jockey\u00a0 W . Abner gets the nod for today’s event .\u00a0 Unraced at 2 she came on strong her 3 yo season winning first asking on dirt , made a switch to grass for a bit and returned to dirt winning twice .\u00a0 Three wins last season , none in stakes or better competition ; no stakes wins this season .. this solid Allowance runner is looking for lightning to strike .<\/DIV>

Manson gets the nod .\u00a0 This 4 yo filly is a relative unknown in the division .\u00a0 She broke her maiden on turf as a 2yo and spent her\u00a0 3 yo season skipping between dirt and turf and sticking mostly to the Allowance class .\u00a0 Heralding her 4 yo season she ran in her first stakes race with a poor showing over 10 furlongs and returned to Allowance company again .\u00a0 She’s had a bad case of second-itis last 4 starts including last outing in the Open NC Filly Stakes<\/U> -Stk where she hit her first triple digit effort in the slop week 2888 .\u00a0 Her success to date is the lead , if the field lets her go she has a chance to come out in front at the wire .<\/DIV>

Keown in the irons .\u00a0 This 4 yo filly broke her maiden early 3 yo season and raced exclusively in allowance company last year .\u00a0 She started off this season winning 2 of 3 and improved to the point of having to run in Stakes company with 4 starts and a win coming by The Berzerk Virgin Challenge<\/U> -Stk week 2916 at 7.5 furlongs earning a 103 SP in 1:29 flat .\u00a0 She’s run\u00a0 1:34 and change over 8 furlongs this year in the slop going wire to wire .\u00a0 With that kind of effort today she has a big shot at winning her first graded race .<\/DIV>
