Race sets up for her; bloodlines and connections say yes… # 3 Eight Danzas (3-1): Good second last start going a route. Repeat of last makes her very competitive in here… #5 Moonchild (7-2): Distance suits her, comes from good barn. She should be along in time for a share… #1 Smarty Pants Sandy (8-1): She is a daughter of Smarty Jones and distance also helps her. She needs a patient ride to be a factor… |
