Cassidy has terrific numbers with cutbacks (16%, $2.90 over last five years) and her defeat in the Oaks made it clear, at least to me, that she's going to need basically everything to go right to win at 9fs because it did for her and she was still beaten.

I do like Blind Luck. I projected her to be the best 3yo filly going into this year from last. I just don't think this crop of 3yo fillies is very good.
Besides Champagne, the sprint field is a lot tougher, and for lack of a better word, saltier.
She never has shown a propensity for sprinting, and cutting her back after a year of running long, seems, well, a bit far fetched to me.
