Purse $125.000  For Fillies And Mares Three Years Old And Upward. Additional Requirements: Have started for a claiming price of $25.000 or less since 1/1/2014.

1 Marejada, trained by Hambletonian Stable
A winner of five races this year this will be the first time the three-year-old has been tested in black type.
She has been aimed at the RP meet recently and her last two wins have been very good winning both against
older horses and in fast times. I think this filly is a lot better than overnight grade and it will be very
interesting to see how she handles this step up in class.

2 Time To Leave, trained by Hambletonian Stables
Another prolific winner with 5 to her name this year, she has followed a similar path her stable mate drawn
inside her. They are fairly difficult to split, but I think the weight difference will be the determinate.

3 Safety First, trained by Allinthegate
A lightly raced four-year-old, she too has been in the winners enclosure a few times this year with three
wins at a lower level. Her works are on a par with the field and she loves this sort of trip, so I would
have to give her every chance in an even field.

4 Danzigs Dalmary, trained by Jerry Garcia Racing
She is on her fifth owner for the year, but it seems like she likes the last one the best as she is unbeaten
in two for current connections. A nice enough sort, but I think she may struggle to give weight to the three’s.

5 Fabolous, trained by NJ Vets
She has yet to finish outside the money in all her starts, but has yet to race over five and a half furlongs.
Her recent work suggests this trip is not beyond her scope, but I think she may just find one or two too
good for her.

6 Nice Doe, trained by Hambletonian Stable
The third runner from the stable, and on paper she looks third best. Having said that she is only just third best
and if she gets a sling shot and an easy lead from the outside gate anything could happen in a race that looks
like a length will cover the field at the end.

SUMMARY

This will be very close, but I am going for Marejada to continue the three-year-old
domination of stakes races. Danzigs Damary and Time To leave may fight it out for second.
