Filly and Mare Turf
(I'm looking for around a 105 to win this race)

1.  Luas Line : I do like this horse, despite the clunker last time.  The Kee turf course was really strange, and horses on or even with 3 or 4 paths of the inside had no shot.  This horse was there in a strangely run race with a crawling pace.  The race is so strange, I make it a total throwout.  The horse has a couple other races that make her strong in here, and the 15-1 ML is enough to make me overlook the last.

2.  Film Maker : Horse was very good to me last year in the Breeder's Cup, especially in the H2H bets.  She just hasn't looked as good this year though, and nearing the end of her 5yo season, I don't expect a sudden reversal.

3.  Sundrop : Two American races have been just OK, even Euro races weren't quite good enough.  Still, at huge odds, I may take a small flyer on this one.

4.  Riskaverse :  Shocked the field last out, but it was more a function of capitolizing on a fast pace then any sudden improvement.  Non contender for me.

5.  Wend : Seems to be the "wise guy" horse of the field, but I don't see it.  One good figure, the rest all sub 100.  Nothing exciting for me, will be overbet.

6.  Flip Flop : No idea why she is in the race, way too slow.

7.  Wonder Again : Contender if you can view the last as a prep for the BC, which I do.  Soft turf won't hurt her a bit, so I'll be using her on my tickets.

8.  Megahertz : Another I view as a contender.  The last was practically a walk over, she was never asked to run.  Other figures in her PPs fit nicely here.

9.  Favorable Terms : I will actually have this horse on my tickets as well.  Her pattern so far this year is eerily close to her pattern last year of long layoff, big race, terrible race (bounce?), followed by a big race.  That big race would be today, and could get the job done.  This horse is a G1 winner on the turf at the distance, and that is enough for me to like her here.

10.  Intercontinental : Horse is a nice, consistent miler, and will probably lead for awhile, but 10f appears way out of her range.

11.  Mona Lisa : Actually saw this horse in person last out!  Ran a new top, but it still isn't good enough to win here.

12.  Karen's Caper : This one could surprise at well.  Comes from that same wacky Kee race as Luas Line, other figures fit nicely.  Distance is the question for this one.

13.  Ouija Board : Last year's winner returns, but doesn't appear to be the same horse in the flesh or figure wise.  The distance may also be too short for her.  I'll pass on this favorite.

14.  Angara : Has some nice figures, but the last was bad with an ideal pace setup, appears headed the wrong way.

Summary:  Tough, wide open race.  I'll be using Luas Line, Sundrop, Wonder Again, Megahertz, Favorable Terms, and Karen's Caper on P3 tix, and bet Favorable Terms to win.
