It would be nice to see Berry Blaze run on cup day, unless she’s injured. I know that she was to be prepped for the July, but the qualifyiing races came too soon, and she was out of the top 20 log so was sratched. She seems top class, and she would be an interesting runner on cup day, but is not entered in any of the features.
