We’re involved here with Dee Tee’s Minit Maus, who’s been waiting to run for over 6 weeks, and honestly don’t know what to expect from her and the rest of this jumbled bunch. Zip It Jess gets back to turf where she debuted quite OK last August and she may just fly on the front end. Trainer John Tebbutt wouldn’t let Benji Hernandez out of the call to ride Maus for us, (he was on her for the off/turf Friday 10th), which suggests he appreciates the 7# weight break..
