Has had the unlucky drawing far outside posts the past 2 races and that hampered her rallying style and faltered with a 4<sup>th<\/sup> and 12<sup>th<\/sup> finish.&nbsp; Looks to bounce back drawing the number 4 hole and refreshed with almost a 3 month layoff with a primer in FEB in the GR 1 Vinegrette getting ready for this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5.&nbsp;&nbsp; RightThroughYou&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner:&nbsp; worldclass&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 17&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 13\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UNCLE MO x SEATTLE SLEW x GONE WEST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will be looking for her first STK or Graded win of her career. Came on hard in the GR 1 Los Vinegrette to lose out by 1 \u00bd lengths to Storm Swallower in a career 104 SP.&nbsp; Then drew the far outside post and stumbled 10\/14 in the 9.5 F All Saints Derby Prep never really catching on. Jockey Te Allen has the mount for this one looking to add wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6.&nbsp;&nbsp; Bitcoin Girl&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: Borinquen&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 23\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MCKINZIE x GONE WEST x NORTHERN DANCER<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The daughter of little known sire Mc Kinzie comes in after a GR 3 4<sup>th<\/sup> in the Lady Bourbon.&nbsp; After starting out with 3 straight sprint wins she has been going the route distances and looks to show she belongs with the big game sires. Hoping to show that any day any horse has a shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7.&nbsp;&nbsp; Tarton Zephyr&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: Tarton&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 11\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TAPIT x GIANT&#8217;S CAUSEWAY x MR.

Bred in KY but making her debut here for the home town crowd.&nbsp; Looks to improve off her 104 SP last time out and prove that she should have been the ML favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8.&nbsp;&nbsp; Rags and Emperors&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: southfork stables&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 22&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 17\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UNION RAGS x TAPIT x STORM CAT<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Won here 3 races ago in the GR 2 Golden Red as the favorite.&nbsp; Then went the GR 1 circuit in the GR 1 Vermont and Cali Oaks where the competition has proven to be too much to handle. I think this is her last chance at 9F to see if she can bounce back with a better effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9.&nbsp;&nbsp; Z\u2019Ha\u2019Dum&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: Brookline&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;rk 6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 17\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MORE THAN READY x SMART STRIKE x SUMMER SQUALL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Came in 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Gr 3 Lady Bourbon here in March with 103 SP 8F.&nbsp; First time at this distance after early success in sprints and like Explosive Ghost has had bad luck drawing outside posts 2\/3 races. But did learn how to adjust and will be looking for lots of speed up front to set her up nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ambush The Anthem&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: deyoto&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 16\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CALIFORNIA CHROME x UNBRIDLED&#8217;S SONG x EASY GOER<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3<sup>rd<\/sup> finish in Gr 2 Sell The Queen and then started 2023 with B2B wins in a STK and GR 2 Louisana Oaks 102 SP both at 8.5F. How ever a 9<sup>th<\/sup> in the GR 1 Lool has shown maybe the workload is catching up to her.&nbsp; 6 of 7 routes is the positive and looks to hope last time out was just a small blip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>11.&nbsp;&nbsp; FreakFire&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: shaiiko&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 10\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WAR FRONT x STREET CRY x UNBRIDLED<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6 of 8 career wins with never seeing this distance. &nbsp;Won the GR 3 Silver Bullet Beer then placed in the GR 1 Lool Oaks.&nbsp; Both races drawing 100+ SP and looks like the 9F shouldn\u2019t be a problem. Like Endless Elation I wonder if she\u2019ll be able to handle running on short rest after a busy start of the season so far. Public likes what they see and have made her the ML favourite<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>12.&nbsp;&nbsp; Endless Elation&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: padribri&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 18\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CURLIN x GONE WEST x HALO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Won the GR 2 Sell The Queen last year at this distance.&nbsp; Then has tackled GR 1 the last two times out including a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> vs Tarton Zephyr where she just didn\u2019t have enough to catch her in the stretch.&nbsp; Has had a busy 2023 with two starts already and wonder if she\u2019ll have anything in the tank coming back again after a short rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>13.&nbsp;&nbsp; Words To Memorize&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: asrstar&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 25&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 14\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">QUALITY ROAD x STORM CAT x DEPUTY MINISTER<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being a bridesmaid is what she does best with 5 2<sup>nd<\/sup> finishes in her career.&nbsp; Although last time out came in 3<sup>rd<\/sup> in the GR 1 Cali Oaks.&nbsp; I said at that time sky was the limit for her and expect big things, well this is her 2<sup>nd<\/sup> straight GR 1and first time at this distance with substance. I think she can handle this distance and the PP will help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>14.&nbsp;&nbsp; Princess Sense&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Owner: bighef&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 23&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 11\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">STREET SENSE x AWESOME AGAIN x A.P.

Started the year winning the GR 3 Dubai Guineas and showed in the GR 1 Lool Oaks with both 100+ SP.&nbsp; And now like momma looks to tackle this distance which is in her pedigree.&nbsp; Has some mighty big shoes to fill but is on the right track and see what the future holds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>15.&nbsp;&nbsp; You Get This Tapit&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: harrylan&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 15&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 11\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TAPIT x WAR FRONT x MR.

Bounced back with ALW win at 9F wire to wire.&nbsp; Look for her to be a pace setter as she comes back after a GR 2 Fantasia win with a SP 106. With a lot of strong stalkers in this one hopefully jockey A. Rolling with the reins will have enough in the tank to fend them off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>16.&nbsp;&nbsp; Woette\u2019s Vizion&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: zeco&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 13&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 18\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOTSWANA TAPS x TAPIT x DANZIG<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last time I saw her in the GR 1 Cali Oaks and I said she\u2019ll learn from the experience of her Graded debut. Well she placed in that one with a 103 SP after drawing far outside. Again looking at another first at this distance and the chance for further development. Pulling for her as I just like how she\u2019s been brought along despite another tough outside 16 panels wide draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>17.&nbsp; MouthsofDecadance&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: asrstar&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 13\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WAR FRONT x CANDY RIDE x SEEKING THE GOLD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was sent here in March and won the GR 1 Lool Oaks coming back from as far as 9 lengths to do it with a 106 SP 8.5F.&nbsp; Has been training here and again has faced most in here today.&nbsp; Hopefully the short time between races won\u2019t affect her performance but the PP could be a factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>18.&nbsp;&nbsp; Gruelling Bridle&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: amir&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 29&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;odds: 16\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KNICKS GO x FORTY NINER x UNBRIDLED&#8217;S SONG<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concern over the last race where she was favoured in a STK at 9F and never fired at all (12\/14) and by 10 lengths.&nbsp; This after a 3<sup>rd<\/sup> in the GR 1 Vermont just over a month before and a 9.5 F STK win before that.&nbsp; With the same time elapsed from her last start, I just don\u2019t think she can handle this workload so quickly and give us the quality race were used to seeing from her? But hey! I been proven wrong before and for her health and well being hope this to be the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>19.&nbsp;&nbsp; Louisville Genes&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: atwbp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 24&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 23\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SHAGAF x SPEIGHTSTOWN x SEEKING THE GOLD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A nice story to see a bargain sire Shagaf (25bp) run with the top girls and hold her own in GR 1 races.&nbsp; 2<sup>nd<\/sup> in the GR 1 Walnut and 9<sup>th<\/sup> in the Cali Oaks.&nbsp; Has finished ITM at 9-9.5 F in ALW so there is potential there.&nbsp; How can you not cheer for the lower sire?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>20.&nbsp;&nbsp; Storm Swallower&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Owner: Stormborn&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rk 2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; odds: 12\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TAPIT x STORM CAT x SADLER&#8217;S WELLS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trainer Stormborn has slowly been bringing her along with lengthening her distance and this will be her first at 9F.&nbsp; Has GR 1 experience with 3 of 4 wins but with that 4<sup>th<\/sup> at 8.5F be it at 2yr in the BB Filly going longer has to be a concern with also a nasty 20 gate draw?&nbsp; The leading money winner in this race looks to improve off her 106 SP at 8F.
