Although the surface issues muddle the picture plenty, still get the feeling that with their Pocahontas perfomances SASSY IMAGE, DECELERATOR and even TIDAL POOL all flattered NEGLIGEE, SHE BE WILD, ZILVA and problematic BEAUTICIAN who finished ahead of them in the Alcibiades.

Speaking of Zilva, this is one Juvy Filly who hasn't had a sniff of a mention but owns experience having made 4 starts, owns ascending figures and is the lone entrant (should she main track) that has made multiple starts around two turns. In 2nd and 3rd career starts which came at the Spa, Successful Appeal bay showed behind excellent Tapitsfly and Pretty B before besting double next out winner Orchestrator (71 MSW & 74 ALW BSF's at KEE) in her route debut 4 weeks later. She was compromised a scootch early in the Alcibiades finding herself a tad further back than she desires, but showed professionalism getting to the front pack by the end as the only horse to make up much ground.

Comes in 'slower' than the top choices but Motion/Strawbridge candidate also appears likely for a forward move. May not be a win candidate, but at what is certain to be big odds, is an ideal exotics include.

On a similar note, Theskyhasnolimit makes D'funnybone look good with his win in the Iroquois, but doesn't help us anticipate how successfully the Pompa-Dutrow D'wildcat chestnut handles the Santa Anita main... However, D'wildcat so far with his synth sojourners according to Bloodhorse Sire Stats by Surface:

59 runners -- 25 winners (42%); 2 SW's (3.4%); 0 GSW's (0%)

Hush...(especially if she goes in the turf race)
