3rd: MSW, 3+, 6f (P3, DD)

Not too many horses stay maidens running the run three races De Price has. And obviously Dominant Jeannes, the half to Justwhistledixie, had misfortune running into Bank Heist in his debut. Interesting race as well from the standpoint that those that have run haven't shown distinct front end interest. That makes you wonder if there isn't a firster, like Smart Rebel or Stevie Wonderboy half Arnell, who could speed pop the set. Since I've referenced the sibling aspect of this group and the lack of a clear pacesetter, it's worth mentioning that second timer Diable Tonnere is half to First Passage, and adds blinkers. Wild race considering there's just 6 signed on..
