Race 7), 6 Furlongs. Adena Springs Miss Preakness S. Grade III. Purse $150,000 FOR FILLIES, THREE-YEARS-OLD
1) Happy Like a Fool, finished a flat fourth last out in G3 Beaumont; 2nd’s off layoff for Ward hit at 21 percent.
2) Bootsy’s Hadenough, scored in last at Keeneland at odds of 24-1; three prior starts finished well back in each.
3) Artistic Diva, enters 2018 a perfect 2-for-2; very quick Santa Anita works.
4) Purrfect Miss, ended 2017 a distant fourth over a wet surface, similar conditions here.
5) Buy Sell Hold, selling.
6) Lezendary, new year has brought back-to-back wins both in clearing fashion; a win threat.
7) I Still Miss You, warm-up for this over the Aqueduct turf was just that; trainer 20 percent on the year.
8) Almond Roca, won a pair of solid overnights over the deep Tampa main track, that bodes well here.
9) Good Move, out of the Kentucky Oaks winning barn, filly is a perfect 2-for-2; formidable in this spot.
10) Limited View, Maryland-bred is a 5-time winner, however she enters off perhaps her worst effort fading badly.
