She has the tactical speed to be in contention throughout and is the one to beat. Crystal Halo comes off a maiden win and rates a chance. She followed that one with a solid performance where she beat a couple of these same runners. Mott and Bailey could be having a big day today. She is definitely the one to beat.
Tugger has a chance.
She has been in the money in seven of her nine grass races and rates a slight edge in a well-matched renewal of the Palisades. La Recherche makes her stakes debut after two impressive wins at Fair Grounds. This is by far the toughest field she has faced but she could be dangerous if left alone on the front end. Langoureuse finished second in a stakes race at Santa Anita last out and has to be respected with Day in the irons. One of his best races came here at Keeneland back in 1999 and anything close to that performance makes him tough to handle today.
