(2) SHOTGUN HOTTIE
Shotgun Hottie has looked progressively better in each of her four starts since returning from a 6-month layoff. In the G1 Apple Blossom on April 13 she stalked the pace while racing wide, bid for the lead on the stretch turn, then faded to 4th in the drive. She comes off a powerful win over slightly easier opposition in the Allaire DuPont. Shotgun Hottie tracked the leaders to the stretch turn, hit the front approaching the furlong pole and kicked clear without ever feeling the whip. That was her career best and Lopez figures to have her with the leaders from the jump.
