There are 5 maidens and 11 horses eligible for a N1X in the Queen's Plate and a filly is going to be a heavy favorite. Get your PPs handy.

It's a pretty thin field to say the least. The filly is OK....but so is Bond's maiden that ran second in the Plate Trial.

Probably not a good price but I like Not Bourbon and even Palmers a little.

Ginger Brew was impressive the way she handled the kickback in the OAKs. Castellano shipped in and rode that race as if he wasn't the least bit aware that there is a massive kickback cloud. She has sharper faster races than Solitaire thus far. Needs to use the tactical speed a bit more.

Solitaire is the best animal. He will have to circle the field after a grueling trip to win.

tough race to handicap.

The 2 horses likely to be overbet in the Plate are Ginger Brew and Solitaire. I'm going to backtrack a little on an earlier opinion I made of Not Bourbon not being able to get the 1 1/4, it's still a question mark but after reviewing the Plate Trial the only horse making ground on him was Solitaire in the stretch. If there are enough question marks about him getting the 1 1/4 and he goes off as the third choice I'd say he would be the one to look at, a longshot to look at also would be Sebastian's Cat who made a early move on the turn, abeit premature. He could run better.
