Race 3: Dearly Declared (#1)

• Got a peculiar ride last time when she was inexplicably rated in last in a race where she was projected to be the speed.
• Found the two-turn distances to be a little far for her at Gulfstream, so this turnback to 5 1/2 furlongs makes some sense.
• Adds blinkers to inject some speed on the turnback.

Race 7: Pillar Mountain (#9)

• After the expected scratch of her stablemate, the Pace Projector will be depicting her in front in a situation favoring the early leader.
• Was very impressive when taking down the Appalachian over today’s rival Regal Glory.
• Her effective turn of foot should make her tough to reel in going this one-mile distance.
