This daughter of Precise End is a full sister to the talented sprinter Precise Star, who won two of his first four career starts. She’s been training well for leading trainer Gary Contessa and showed a glimpse of her ability with a sharp :48.4 drill from the gate last week.Hot jockey Ramon Dominguez rides and I expect her to come out running in a big way.

1 AUNTIE LIZ 6/1 Bruce Levine wins at a solid 16% with first time starters and had an impressive debut winner last week. $90,000 yearling is by a good sprint sire and she’s put in some good recent works, incl. a gate drill.
