50/1

Unraced Distorted Humor filly cost $25,000 as a yearling in September last year. Dam was successful over 7f and worth a check in the market for a leading yard.

Forecasts

Daliyah (11/4), Dramatically (4/1), Betsey Trotter (9/2), Cheering (7/1), Darkness Falls (7/1), Julia's Magic (10/1), Encantador (14/1), Rapid Reaction (20/1), Spanish Soprano (40/1), New Vocation (40/1), Teardrop Island (50/1), Wichita Line (50/1), Venus Starr (66/1), Flamin Audi (66/1), Sarah Kate (66/1), Magsmillie (66/1)

BETSEY TROTTER ran well on debut and can be forgiven a heavy defeat when upped markedly in grade last time out. The selection should find this company more to her liking and can defeat the experienced Daliyah who can record her fifth top three finish today. The well-bred Cheering is taken to claim third on her racecourse debut.
