LADY'S CHOICE

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed respectably, able to lead and showed strong pace. He was beaten two and a half lengths and finished sixth. This time with a six-pound weight reduction but drawing an unfavorable outside barrier, the situation is less ideal. Despite having won six races in 27 attempts at this distance and reasonable times compared to rivals, he has the potential to lead early, appears well-prepared for the race, and isn't considered a leading contender.
