** Best Bet Courageous Girl finally ran well in her last start at this level with a change of tactics. She is learning how to use her speed tactically. This four-year filly meets a field she should crush.
* Best Value Double Shot always performs well at this track, in the money in all five starts. He placed in his latest and displayed his best Beyer number since last February 17th. Today’s pace scenario suits his powerful late kick perfectly.
