1 Moohttps://simracingform.com/wp-admin/tools.phpnlight Cloud, trained by Alydar Stables
This four year old has been pretty inconsistent over her eleven race career but at her best
culd be right in this race. A winner of the Natalma she went onto finish third in the BC Juvenile
Fillies before being sold by Blushing Meadows to her current owner. After that sale she lost her
way being well beaten in a couple of grade three’s and getting her season cut short after a few
efforts in lesser company. She bounced back a little this season winning a state bred stakes race
before disappointing in The Very One in her next start. Her last start in the Orchid was probably her
best run since a her two year old days when she ran on stoutly to be beaten just a head in The Orchid.
That was a much better effort and she benefitted from a good position just behind the speed suggesting
that either she has found that lost form or the trainer has found a tactic that works.

2 Whiskey Wings, trained by Team 7 Illusions
The winner of the Grade One Taylor last year she also carried a big weight to victory in the Long
Island Handicap making her one of the emerging stars of the fillies routing division. She ran well in
a couple of grade twos at inadequate trips before winning a competitive open allowance last time and
that win may put her spot on for today. I am liking her works, i am liking her ability to stay this trip
and i am liking her chances of a win today.

3 Ms Gummybear, trained by Aer Stables
This five year old has been bought and sold a few times and because of that her career has never really
had a consistent look to it. She had a good year last year after being claimed placing a close second in
The Sheepshead Bay but was then sold again to a new stable where despite a poor first up run she still
managed a couple of wins including The Glen Falls Handicap. Sold again at the end of the season she again
struggled first up for her new owner but went onto win a decent open allowance at FG. She is definitely
an untapped talent but i think the best of her may have passed by and i would be surprised to see her winning.

4 Leave Me Alone, trained by Mb Stables
A bit of a late blooming three year old she ended up winning three in a row after an early debut culminating
in a neck win in the Red Carpet Stakes. It looked like she may explode as a four year old but her two races
so far have been a little disappointing both in overnights and last time beaten into third by Ms Gummybear
in that FG Allowance. Theres no doubt she loves a test of stamina and she is working very nicely so she could
easily bounce back to winning ways today but i am not sure she has enough gears to beat the best of these.

5 Family Myth, trained by Barcelona Farms
She built nicely last season ending up with two grade three wins after coming up from the claiming ranks.
She started the season behind Ms Gummybear and in front of leave Me Alone in the FG Allowance a run that saw
her finishing strongly and only a quarter length short in the end. I like these progressive types and on that
FG run she has a very good chance of getting some pay today.

6 Broomsticks N Booty, trained by Drabfantasy
The class filly in the race most of her best form has been on the dirt but she has placed in a few graded
stakes on the grass and her class may see her through. Winner of the KY Oaks last year she also took the
MTH Oaks before running a great second in the BC Distaff. She has been busy already this year running four places
all in graded stakes and that also included a close second in the Connally BC Turf against the boys. She gets a great
chance of a first turf win today and as long as the dreaded outside gate doesnt throw her into a crazy early lead
then she may just be the best choice.

SUMMARY

I am liking Broomsticks And Booty for this race but the outside speed push does worry me. Outside her i

like Whiskey Wings Ms Gummybear and Family Myth to fight out the remaining pay checks and maybe

one of them will sneak a win if the outside draw is too much of a burden for my top choice.
