In depth
Verdict
This looks a decent maiden on paper but the twice-raced Pechanga could go well at a price as she looks a progressive type. Todd Pletcher’s Thankful, a daughter of American Pharoah, was an expensive purchase and it would be no surprise to see her play a part on debut. Pseudonym also has a nice pedigree but is another drawn towards the outside. So Darn Hot made good late headway in March but Dylan Davis switches to the Candy Ride newcomer My Sweet Wife. FRESCO was an eye-catcher here in January when not given a hard time. Christophe Clement’s filly can put that experience to good use today.
