It's going to to tough one for her in there against the likes of Devil May Care and Connie and Michael. I think she will get the pace setup for her late move.

I'm actually going to guess no, unless maybe she raced at Fort Erie in a maiden race?
I know she tried the turf once at Woodbine, but don't think she's stepped on to a dirt track.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Trainer Reade Baker is looking forward to seeing Biofuel compete against some of the best in her division when she goes postward in Saturday's Mother Goose at Belmont Park.
The Mother Goose, a 1 1/16-mile race for 3-year-old fillies, offers Grade 1 status and a purse of $250,000.
Biofuel won the Grade 3 Mazarine over 1 1/16 miles here last fall and went on to finish an unlucky fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita. Voted Canada's co-champion 2-year-old filly along with Negligee, Biofuel returned with an impressive victory in the six-furlong Star Shoot on April 10, and then doubled up in the 1 1/16-mile La Lorgnette here May 23.
"We had looked at the Mother Goose for her all along, if we were good enough coming out of the La Lorgnette," said Baker.
Biofuel left Woodbine on Tuesday morning and was to be joined by Baker Wednesday. Regular rider Eurico Rosa Da Silva will be heading down for the mount.
"Everything's going great," said Baker, who trains the Kentucky-bred Biofuel for her owner and breeder, Brereton C. Jones. "I couldn't have one going into a race any better."
"We had to go somewhere; there's nothing here for her until the fall. It's logical we'd go looking for a graded stake."
Wayyy too much emphasis on the Pletcher runners. I wouldn't be surprised if they ran 3-4-5.
Like the masses here I'll be on Biofuel to win and playing her over Devil May Care/Connie and Michael.
