after a quick look at the 7th, i might go with ocean drive if the turf is firm. i think they have been pointing towards this for this all along, whie a few of the others may not have. the horse will be completely cranked off five weeks rest, gets a decent post, and gets JR, who won this race last year with heat haze. OD might be a touch slower than a few, but hoping the human connections get the job done. musical chimes must also be used i guess. looks like the 1m distance is her game. like blackd, she could have won the BC with a better trip. intercontinental will make a run, but i still have visions of her full brothers come flying for third in the BC a few years back at huge odds. is this race long enough for her? with bailey up, i will use, with another jock i would toss at low odds. island fashion should also appreciate the return to the 1m. this horse has amazing pure speed. if baze can work out a decent trip, she could be the best.... i'm looking for decent odds on OD, and i will key her over the others i mentioned. tough race, the guys who hit races like this are the real handicappers (usually not me).
