California<\/STRONG>–\u00a0\u00a0 The track came up sloppy as pea soup for the $95,000 Teabag Special<\/EM>.\u00a0\u00a0 Sophomore fillies navigate 6.5 furlongs and it’s a pretty solid group too……<\/FONT><\/DIV>

Oddsmakers tab Fleetwood Mia(TUR)<\/STRONG> favoritsm status at 4\/1.\u00a0 The Strike The Gold daughter continued her marvelous winning ways this season for trainer fleetwood.\u00a0\u00a0 The filly boasted a long win streak in these short field one-turn contests.\u00a0\u00a0 She ran into modest rouble of late when extending to 7 panels, but notably improves her speed figures near each time out.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sassy Fleetwood Mia makes her run from about midpack and breaks from post postion # 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>

Mochachino’s Quest(KY)<\/STRONG> (6\/1) easily presents the best speed figure of the bunch.\u00a0\u00a0 The Tale of the Cat gal lightning bolted a 7.5f listed stakes two back with a hot 102 SP#<\/STRONG>.\u00a0\u00a0That had to be a surprise for trainer princessme, since Mochachino’s Quest had only been throwing 80-ish type speed figures.\u00a0\u00a0 I don’t really like the filly in this spot though.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She’s quite talented, but is 0-for-2 over\u00a0off tracks.\u00a0\u00a0 She ran over a “good” track LTO and should’ve easily won, but tired to\u00a03rd.\u00a0 Last test for her over an off track!\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Still eligible for a NW2L,\u00a0Pure Life(IRE)<\/STRONG> (6\/1) hasn’t really needed to fall back into the conditions.\u00a0\u00a0 Jdawg11 guided\u00a0the Bachelor Duke modest-bred through one-turn stakes placing last season.\u00a0\u00a0 The filly stumbled a bit opening her ’07 campaign at a mile.\u00a0\u00a0 She’s since recovered, flashing more speed around\u00a0seven panels.\u00a0\u00a0The hard worker brings a pair of 90+ speed figures to the table and hopes to better than mark with an at-long-last stakes victory.\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>

Yanta Snez(G2)<\/EM> winner Grey Ice(IRE)<\/STRONG> puzzingly goes\u00a0off at 7\/1.\u00a0\u00a0 The Johannesburg runner won that 7 furlong grade back in mid-January with a sparkling 97 SP#.\u00a0 She was a very promising stakes winner last season too.\u00a0\u00a0 Trainer crandyii probably wishes to take back Grey Ice’s Yanta Snez<\/EM> follow-up.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The filly riushed on two weeks rest into the Backward Gal(G3) around 7f and ran like a tired horse.\u00a0\u00a0 She since through a dud when stretching out in the California Oaks(G1)<\/EM> last month.\u00a0\u00a0 Classy filly is much more rested now.\u00a0 On paper, she shouldn’t have too much of a problem with this field.\u00a0\u00a0 Hopefully she’ll handle the off track.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>

Charismatic Park(JPN)<\/STRONG> already boasts a pair of stkaes victories for trainer tbird2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At 8\/1, Charismatic Park joins the speed fray after bagging\u00a0three-quarters of a mile LTO over a track rated as “good.”\u00a0 She’s a sassy little thing who can win over the green stuff too.\u00a0 Perfect spot if the daughter of Charismatic\u00a0can extend her versatility to stalker-style tactics.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>

Simond4 saw Upper Deck(KY)<\/STRONG> (8\/1) buzzsaw an ALW field LTO\u00a0with a photo finish.\u00a0\u00a0 The gutsy Grand Slam\u00a0lassie knows how to mix it up early on in pacesetters’ battle-royales.\u00a0\u00a0 The filly is winless through five starts this season in a vigorous campaign.\u00a0 She’ll bolt on of the rail post\u00a0on just two weeks rest.\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
A Cryptoclearance daughter comes out of post 5.\u00a0\u00a0 Wheels Of Steel(KY)<\/STRONG> (8\/1) is a perfect 2-for-2 over off tracks and should\u00a0adore Saturday’s surface.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The filly was a stakes winner over a mile as a 2yo, but couldn’t advance much further than that.\u00a0\u00a0 She notably cut back to 7.5 panels LTO and recorded her first 90+ SP# even though she lost.\u00a0\u00a0 She’s still trying to find her best running style, but you’ll probably spot her from far off pace.\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>

Marmac sends out an AP Indy daughter.\u00a0\u00a0 Top Of The Heap(KY)<\/STRONG> (8\/1) brngs loads of experience to the table with 15 lifetime starts.\u00a0\u00a0 Unfortunately, the filly hasn’t stepped up well in the past to the black type level.\u00a0\u00a0 She brings off track ability though and perhaps she’ll also approve of the\u00a0cutback in distance.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A good factor for the board from midpack or thereabouts.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Fresh off of an ALW score over this distance, Barb’s Bad Girl(KY)<\/STRONG> (10\/1) has hopefully returned to form.\u00a0\u00a0 The Sky Classic boasts a royallly bred female family and, indeed, was Grade 3-placed last season.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the midpacker threw a pair of crummy efforts to start out ’07.\u00a0\u00a0 Perhaps the ALW schooling sharpened her up.\u00a0 Maxie’s honest gal is a threat for the board if not a minor share. <\/FONT><\/DIV>

Lawyerron checks in with his off track specialist\u00a0High On Capote(FR)<\/STRONG> (11\/1).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The High Yield adores the slop with a 7-for-8 ITM% over the soup.\u00a0\u00a0 High On Capote\u00a0also bagged an ALW score in her last — it was a slow speed figure but that was all she needed to get the job done.\u00a0\u00a0This filly has some back class with a 90 SP# in a Grade 3 and several stakes placings.\u00a0\u00a0 Very nice filly, but she races a heckuva lot —\u00a0this is her 5th start of the season already.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Hopefully she has something in the tank because she’ll love the track.\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Finally, Stormin Fever daughter Boniek(KY)<\/STRONG> is our longest shot on the board at 25\/1.\u00a0\u00a0 She’s been stakes placed with low numbers a couple times and also won around 5.5f two back.\u00a0 Has to surprise trainer macstakes with a jump up in speed figures in order to be much of a factor this week.\u00a0\u00a0 Difficult to gage her lone off track debacle since it\u00a0came\u00a0mismatched at th graded level.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
