The thing about the CD turf course is the sand base on which some turf runners do not perform their best. Off the pace types have generally fared well at CD and no rain is expected.As far as WAW being a little slow on TG, there is some question when looking at other data. Slow is not what any visual of her efforts would lead one to conclude.Her late internals are far superior to any of the US runners, don't have them for the euros.
It is reported that OB has been more pointed to this race this year.Should be a great race if all run to their capabilities and get decent trips.Someone who follows the euros thinks that OB has never fired her best shot in any of her US races.
The races friday at CD may be helpful in trying to see how the surfaces are playing providing they don't scrape on Sat.
