Check Me Out is a sure thing. Win Missy B beat her last year in the Peaceful Way as well as an elimination for that race, but Missy looks awful this year.
Maven has beaten CMO and Missy in 2012, but this CMO in start number four with TT, not Jimmy T, is a different filly than the one Maven beat a month ago.

I think Maven is the best filly trotter I've seen in a while. Bet on her in this crop. Watched the race at the Meadows when she took down CMO and Schnitker was pushing CMO while Gingras had Maven shut down and she was still pulling away. She did the same last week in her elimination heat. She is a remarkably powerful filly she just has to mind her manners which was her problem last year but if she's flat I don't think there's any filly in this group including CMO that could touch her even with Tetrick at the reins.

I somehow had Jimmy Takter driving CMO? The fact that he keeps driving Guccio is driving me nuts, so I switched his colt for the filly in my mind.
