As a "marked" horse in this race, I can envision a trip for her somewhat similar to the one "enjoyed" by Ginger Punch in the Go For Wand here last summer. If It's a Bird runs his "A" race, and she can't get to the outside in the first 3/8 of a mile, this could really turn into quite a test for her.

I agree.
