This is an exciting Maiden Special Weight turf race featuring 12 fillies. It’s a wide-open affair, making it a great handicapping challenge. Here’s a breakdown of the contenders and final selections.

Horse-by-Horse Analysis

1. Gift Giving (20-1)

Debuting filly by Gift Box has been working steadily but lightly. Trainer Kenny McPeek has modest success with first-time starters on turf. Likely needs a race.

2. Inallprobability (3-1)

Finished a game 4th in her only start, showing tactical speed. She’s well-bred for turf and stretching out to a mile should suit her. Strong trainer-jockey combo with Irad Ortiz makes her a top contender.

3. Olivia Valentina (30-1)

Another first-time starter. Her workouts are on the slower side, and her trainer has limited success with turf debuts. Pass.

4. Wind Flower (12-1)

Tried dirt twice with middling results. She’s bred to improve on turf, and Bill Mott excels with dirt-to-turf moves. A sleeper at a price if she takes to the surface switch.

5. Henry Gondorff (20-1)

Faded badly in her debut and didn’t show much ability. Switching to turf might help, but others are more appealing.

6. Snipsnippitysnip (7-2)

Consistent filly with three turf starts under her belt. Ran 3rd in a stakes-quality field last out, posting a 66 Beyer Speed Figure, which is competitive here. Strong contender.

7. Unlimited Spending (9-2)

Highly regarded filly with top-notch connections. Although a first-time starter, her sharp workouts suggest readiness. A major player.

8. Satin Stone (20-1)

Struggled in two dirt starts and hasn’t hinted at much ability. Turf breeding is moderate. Prefer others.

9. NoMo Cookies (6-1)

Shows improving form, rallying to grab a minor share last time out. Needs to step up a notch but could hit the board.

10. Zenith (10-1)

Closed for 3rd on turf two back before fading on synthetic. She has a good pedigree and some upside but will need pace to close into.

11. Ginger N Speightsy (30-1)

Showed little in her debut and doesn’t offer much on paper. Longshot.

12. Phoenix of Wit (8-1)

Ran evenly on synthetic and now moves to turf. With Lope de Vega as her sire, she’s bred for grass. Could improve and grab a piece.

Top Contenders

1. #6 Snipsnippitysnip (7-2)

• Proven form on turf and consistently competitive.

• The top Beyer figure in the field suggests she’s ready to graduate.

2. #2 Inallprobability (3-1)

• Well-bred and showed enough in her debut to warrant serious consideration.

• Likely to improve stretching out.

3. #7 Unlimited Spending (9-2)

• Classy debut runner with Todd Pletcher and Luis Saez. Dangerous.

4. #4 Wind Flower (12-1)

• Dirt-to-turf switch could unlock her potential. She’s the value play.

Selections

• Win: #6 Snipsnippitysnip

• Place: #2 Inallprobability

• Show: #7 Unlimited Spending

• Longshot to Watch: #4 Wind Flower

Keep an eye on the board for betting trends. Horses like #7 and #2 might take heavy action, but if #6 drifts up in odds, she could offer excellent value. Happy handicapping and good luck!🍀
