1m John Deere Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (Grade 1) (2yo Fillies) (Turf) (2yo)
The presence of Lake Victoria is ominous but she’s drawn stall one and plenty can go wrong for her in a race like this. Her sire Frankel is yet to make any impact on American tracks and she is quite a big unit, which might not be ideal. I think she’s top drawer but I’m inclined to look for an each-way bet. My selection at a mega price is TOTALLY JUSTIFIED at 33/1 from stall five. She has loads to do on ratings but I thought she threw the race away last time out at Keeneland. She hit the front and idled to my eye, rallying again when the eventual winner got upsides, and I suspect there’s more under the hood. Her sire provided the winner of this race last year and has been sensational to date, and she’s out of a black type Galileo mare so there’s nothing wrong with her pedigree. Crucially I don’t think she will hang around from her draw and a top four finish seems very plausible if getting the run of the race.
0.5pts each-way Totally Justified @33/1, 23:05 Del Mar, Friday (1/5, 1-4)
