What do you guys think of Country Star? Her Alcibiades was obviously a fairly impressive performance given that she was very wide and closing into no pace, but I think I might be looking elsewhere.
If Foxy Danseur is near her 5/1 ML, she seems like a smart play to me. There isn't very much speed in here, and if she is able to repeat her last performance (which came over this track, at this distance) it certainly could be enough.

Stole my thunder. Country Star looks like a solid filly, but at that price, i'd let her beat me.

I like boxing the three, Country Star, Foxy Danseur and Grace Anatomy. Might not pay a ton, but think it's very viable to hit.

Im pretty sure Paul Lo Duca won't show up to see (his horse w/ Reddam and Suarez) Grace Anatomy run despite this being a Grade I.

"Lo Duca. The All-Star catcher is described in the document as the pivot man in the virus-like spread of steroids and human growth hormone through the team clubhouse, to the lockers and doorsteps of then-Dodgers Eric Gagne -- the beloved "Game Over" relief icon -- and pitcher Kevin Brown, and even to the former minor league franchise in Albuquerque." -LATimes.com

If he's there..... I will heckle him for the filly's name and not the PE-drugs just to be different.

Foxy Danseur was the only horse on November 17 to win from the first-half of the field, much less wire-to-wire. She can rate too. I see Spritely shooting out for the lead, The Golden Noodle close-up with this gal sitting third. She makes first run and then it's whether or not she can hold off Grace and Country. 5/1 will go up I think.

Country Star was impressive at Keeneland, and Frankel loves her, but I'm going to try and beat her. I played Grace Anatomy in the BC, not sure what to make of it. Need a decent price.

Foxy Danseur is my choice but I wouldn't bet this race with Michael Vick's dogfighting money.

Martin Jones could pull the "upset."

After a furter evaluation, I came to the same conclusion. I will be keying Sunday Geisha with C Nak on board in all 3 tri slots. If she has a nice break from the gate, this one could get first shot at the early speed alongside Grace and Power and Foxy Danseur. Would have to hold off a late bid from Country Star.
The price we will be getting on SG might be too nice to turn down.

You are right about Country Star. I thought her race at Keeneland she got a real good set up and that today it might not be the case but Bejarano only cracked her one or twice and she just took off. The only question mark she will have is real dirt, which she probably won't see until Oaks day
