The problem, of course with every horse in this race not named Funny Feeling is that you're banking on them rating and being successful. If you have the stones to play a horse in here who you think is speed of the speed you're taking a gigantic chance.

I think Nonna Mia will be the speed of the speed and I think Zermatt will rate.

There's really no way Nonna Mia outruns Stormandaprayer to the first quarter, and so far NM has shown absolutely no ability to rate. I think she's a terrible bet at 2-1. Even though the race sets up for Funny Feeling, she had no excuse in the Prioress so she's hard to take at 5-2. Zermatt beat a terrible MSW field last time out and also isn't guaranteed to rate. How anybody can eliminate LBT is beyond me.

Especially coming off the route race, she will most likely automatically be behind these fillies. LBT might fall into the perfect trip.

I can really care less about the race, but I will watch this one and cheer for her to win, nothing wrong with 'hope'

I think NM clears.

Based on what? Stormandaprayer is significantly faster than her early.

There's a 0% chance that Nonna Mia can beat the 1 to the lead. . . She has an incredible amount of speed. The only horse close to capable of running with her early is the 6, who has no chance to get to her from that post.
