Bourbonette BC J

SABATINI (Five Star Day) will make her first start over Turfway Park's Polytrack in

Saturday's $150,000 Bourbonette Breeders' Cup S. (G3), but she should be very

familiar with the footing, recording 12 works at Turfway Park since the

beginning of October. The Patrick Biancone-trained lass owns a class edge over

her rivals, finishing only 2 1/2 lengths back of Santa Anita Oaks (G1) winner

Balance (Thunder Gulch) when third in the Hollywood Starlet S. (G1) two starts

back, and we won't go against the likely favorite.

In pursuit of some value, we'll use LEMONS FOREVER (Lemon Drop Kid) on the

bottom of the exacta. A maiden winner over the Polytrack last November, Lemons

Forever finished second when making her seasonal debut in an allowance/optional claiming event at Louisiana Downs in January but showed more next out at Oaklawn

Park, winning at Saturday's mile distance and earning a career-best 95 BRIS Speed

rating. The Dallas Stewart trainee has worked well since then, posting a

four-furlong bullet move in :47 3/5 at Churchill Downs recently, and owns good

tactical speed. She can save ground from her rail post and looks set for further

improvement. The chestnut is also listed at 12-1 on the morning line.

CORONADO'S VISION (Coronado's Quest) invades from Gulfstream Park for trainer

Frank Brothers off a sharp allowance victory and will be a forward presence from

the start under new rider Edgar Prado. She defeated eventual Florida Oaks

heroine Bushfire (Louis Quatorze) when breaking her maiden two starts back, and

we wouldn't be surprised to see her keep improving with a strong showing in her

stakes debut.

CAPOZZENE (Capote) failed as the favorite in the Suncoast S. at Tampa Bay

Downs last out, but the gray appears capable of better on Saturday for trainer

Todd Pletcher. A stakes winner last summer, Capozzene opened her sophomore

season with a solid third in the Silverbulletday S. (G3) two starts back and her

stakes experience looks like an advantage. She'll settle into a stalking trip

under Chris DeCarlo before attempting to pounce.

TOP NOTCH LADY (Sultry Song), a Canadian stakes winner, owns the Speed

ratings to be a factor in her three-year-old bow, but she will have to overcome

the far outside post. She may be able to save some ground with her speed, and we

like the fact that trainer Mark Casse got her a workout over the Polytrack last

week. Consider the bay filly for the exotics. LADY DANZA (Cryptoclearance) will

also return off the layoff on Saturday, but her Speed ratings are a little low.

However, the Helen Pitts runner owns some back class, finishing third in the

Golden Rod S. (G2) at Churchill Downs, and she appears to be training well for

her first appearance in 2006.

DANCE DAILY (Five Star Day) captured the Santa Ynez S. (G2) when sprinting

three starts back, but she hasn't fared well in three attempts at a mile,

recording three unplaced finishes. We'll let her beat us. CLASSICAL RYDER

(Brahms), who owns a win over the track in the Valdale S. last out, could also

outperform our expectations, but the former claimer is a threat to regress

against better here.

MORETHANAWHISPER (Service Stripe) is two for two, both wins coming at Turfway

for conditioner Grant Hofmans, but she's facing a steep class hike. We'll give

her a race at this level. CHAMPAGNE N GLORY (Miswaki) drew an outside post for

her stakes debut, and we can't recommend her chances.
