Pretty impressive last figure from the filly, and no one seems to be talking about her. She obviously has her issues, and she is probably a bet-against on sheet theory, but she will have had 6+ weeks of rest, and only Royal Delta has run faster than she has.
JB himself said at a seminar on Labor Day Weekend that if he managed RD, he would skip the Beldame and point right to the Distaff/Classic. Well, Mott didn\'t skip the Beldame, RD ran big, and might be ready to regress (and she may yet run in the Classic).
In this loaded field, Awesome Feather could go to the post as the 3rd or 4th choice. Not bad for a filly that could bounce, and still win....
i usually don\'t like to play horses that i think will bounce to win. if she pairs, she wins & the price seems like it may be right. I would like to see what more experienced sheet users say.
Coming back in 43 days off a large lifetime top, and Chad Brown is only 1/7 in the BC. That one is not for me.
I keep coming back to My Miss Aurelia in this spot, paired top, working well at SA for the past month, and goes 3rd off the layoff which is a strong angle for Asmussen. Price should be right because of the lower Beyer and Bris figs.
I like Grace Hall. Price will be big and she\'s faster than Q or MMA. If RD and AF bounce (certainly not impossible) she can win and she\'ll be twice the price of the Q or MMA.

I agree with you, worth the shot. Would love to see Royal Delta go in the Classic and then we would have a wide open race on our hands.
