I thought I was going to have time to do a video version of this preview, but a few things came up and didn't get a chance to spend time to really record one. However, I did want to do a preview for the race as this a prep for the Delaware Handicap.

Daydreamin Gracie- 4th in the Gallorette, turf to dirt. Has starts at Delaware, but none in stakes.
Montana Native- 5th in last year's Alabama and won the Winter Melody (local prep) in her last. Trainer won the Belmont on Saturday to deny the Triple Crown. Was last in the Cat Cay which was won by Princess of Sylmar.
Blue Violet- 2nd in the Winter Melody in her last was third in last year's Rachel Alexandra before finishing 6th in the FG Oaks.
Flash Forward- 3rd in the Cat Cay and 3rd in the Top Flight to Teen Pauline. Has the unfortince to run against some of the best 3yo's last year and older fillies this year. Could be the one to beat.
Zucchini Flower- 2nd in the Monmouth Beach and 3rd in the Dahila before that. 7th in her lone graded stakes attempt, but that was in 2012.
Golden Production- ran primarly on the West Coast, first start on the East Coast was a 7th in the Foxy J.G. At Parx. 6th in the Santa Maria earlier this year.
Gamay Noir- 3rd in the Sixty Sails and won the Rampart. She's already made 6 starts this year, but that hasn't effected her that much.
Ambusher- Winless since last August. 4th in the Arlington Matron last time out which was also her graded stakes debut.
Picks: 1st- Montana Native 2nd- Flash Forward 3rd- Blue Violet
Sadly I won't be able to attend this year's Obeah, but hopefully 1 or 2 of these fillies comes back for the DelCap.
