Despite failing to place, SUNSET EMPIRE has been pretty consistent this year and can take advantage of this big drop in class and a rails draw. Rattlesnakerose won twice over course and distance at the start of the year, beating Lil B Quick on the latter occasion, but she’s not run up to that form in her last two starts and was behind Mz. Foo Do in March and Alluring Approval last month. Lil B Quick beat several of these here in March but that was probably a bit of a fluke with R Sweet Exchange more likely to run her race today.
