Hollywood - Race 9
#5 Premier Steps (5/2 ml)
Very promising-looking 2yo filly here from the Chad Brown barn. Ran close in the Group 2 Cherry Hinton Stakes @ Newmarket two starts back (over soft ground), then improved next time out when adding more distance and racing over a firm surface for the very first time. Has since come over to work heads-up with an older barnmate named Dream Peace, who has hit the board in 3 different Grade 1 stakes this year (her only three American starts of the year). Heady company there for an unproven 2yo filly such as this one, and trainer Chad Brown is showing confidence here by shipping her cross-country (from Belmont) to start in this Grade 3 stakes in her American debut. Brown also happens to excel with European imports making their first American start, hitting with an outstanding 5-of-11 of those over the last couple of years. Looking for a good effort here.
HRT record:
89 for 330 (27%)
$763.80 mutuels ($8.58 avg)
