The big question in here is who can last? Abundance of early speed should be killer for most but someone has to win. There are two in here who should be able to handle the quick pace based on class. I will use both on top in tri and add a couple underneath who have good talk on backside.
#5 SMOKINALISA, 7/2
Terry Finley West Point fillie has shown speed and fade against much better. If Calvin doesn't screw it up she should be able to make a good showing at this level.
#2 WILDCAT JILLEE, 9/2
Dale Romans well bred fillie ran 2nd at this level last time out. Any improvement puts this one close today.
#4 GRAND DISTRACTION, 5-1
Speedy turf runner tries dirt today. Turf to dirt and gets Freddie in the irons. Will show speed and may hold on for a long time.
#6 NELIA BELLE, 15-1
first time starter has sharp works for debut. My buddy in Louisville says she is primed for a big effort first out. Gets red hot jockey Corie Lanerie for premier. BEWARE!
10 unit trifecta 2/5---2/5---4/6
2 unit trifecta box 2--4--5--6
Good Luck!
