THEYSKENS' THEORY is a half-sister to Breeders' Cup winning juvenile Stevie Wonderboy so there's every reason to believe that she'll be effective on the dirt and trainer, Brian Meehan, believes that her action will be better suited by this surface than turf. She hasn't run too badly on grass in Europe with her third in the Fillies' Mile handing her leading form claims and she's well drawn on the inside. The draw has done no favours to Tell A Kelly but she saved ground before bursting through late in the Oak Leaf before just being outstayed in the closing stages. Awesome Feather is unbeaten in five and has done enough to believe that she'll cope with the step up to Graded level whilst it would be no surprise to see R Heat Lightning reverse the form from the Frizette Stakes with A Z Warrior although this trip may just stretch Todd Pletcher's filly.
