It would be nice to eliminate Madcap from the P4 at 1/2 or 3/5, but who can run with her early?

Molto Vita, who likes CD but didn't come close to matching ME early at Kee in her last?

Heavenly Humor, who comes from Golden Gate and Bay Meadows and has never run in a graded stake?

I see Bailey making very little effort to discourage ME early, ME cutting out a wicked half mile on what is sure to be a brick road like surface. At the 1/8th pole, the weight will start to take its toll, but the others may be too far back to take advantage.

I may be wrong, but I think Azeri lost this race under top weight last year, leading both Lukas and Carl Nafzger(who won the race)to call for the abolition of graded races run under handicap conditions.
