In think the race sets up perfectly for Miss Shop. Take D' Tour, Teammate & Ginger Punch will all go out together (Hopefully in blistering fractions) Miss Shop sits about 4 lengths off of the speed duel and pounces in the stretch. This may not happen, but if I can get 5-1 on Miss Shop I will take it over even money on Take D' Tour & Ginger Punch.

I had Miss Shop in the Personal Ensign and loved watching her come home to just about guarantee my Pick 4, but 1 1/16 miles is nowhere close to a good distance for her (9 wins overall, none at a mile and a sixteenth) and she hasn't run big back to back races in a while. I'd be shocked if Bejarano couldn't get GP to settel in behind the 4 and 5.
