If it’s good enough for the boys… let’s do one for the girls.  Let’s call it the “sister race” to the Harrod… The Dogwood (GIII) drew tough, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one go faster than the boys… certainly faster than some of my recaps. 

I’m looking for Dream Chaser to run another big race and get the job done here today.  She won two in a row before that third in the CT Oaks (GII), certainly nothing to be ashamed of there.  I think she is on top of her game right now, so the edge goes to her. 

Let’s go right next door and look at Madam Dime in the second spot.  That was an impressive run to win the Prioress (GIII) at SAR last out, and this lightly raced gray looks ready to keep the big races going. 

Although she isn’t on my ticket, Altered State scares me a bit… no, no… scares me a lot.  She won the Eight Belles (GII) over this track, and when she is right, she is dangerous.  Her last two have been tough, but if she bounced back… boy oh boy.
