I love Gorella as much as the next person but don't think she can get 9.5f


What do you all think?? Should she have any trouble with the distance

I think she can get the distance but I think she'll find traffic trouble

I'm leaning that way too.. I think she's the best in the field, but the distance and traffic may cause her problems.

the only way she has traffic problems is if the french guy shoots the rail, he does that, he is screwed, but her kick is perfect to start right at the final turn, she will be fine. Not sure where I am going yet

I don't thing there will be much traffic problems, but I think you will see her running in quicksand coming around the turn.

Alot of these have run 1 1/4 races so they should still have something, Gorella has been running alot of 1 mile

I like Rising Cross too, but can't lie I don't know much about her other that she is a 3yr old

Is she a closer? stalker?? Race out front??

I really think she could do any of the three here.

Hopefully she goes out and lays right off easy fractions and quickens earlier than anyone. This would be how I think she could win the easiest.

She has an extended kick that can last 3+ furlongs.

To me this race is EXTREMELY difficult. For example, Chic Dancer has won her last 5 races over the Arlington Turf including her last race which was a graded stakes race going this EXACT distance over this EXACT course against a field of 10.....yet she might be a toss for me because I am just not sure she has the class of these others.
Extremely difficult. But I think you are right to toss Gorella. I don't like her chances going 9.5 against these.

It is a great field and I think almost every filly has a resonable shot to make the money... I LOVE turf races like this.
