TURF ONLY --
R4:
:7:, Darwin Award: prototypical cutback turf horse. Cut all the pace routing last out, including a wicked 22.78 3rd split, and still had enough to open up some lengths in the stretch before the race completely collapsed and he was engulfed. Has an aggressive jock and should be able to sit just behind 1, Core Inflation, and take over when he wants. The key is to NOT be used excessively early dueling/chasing horses that will come back on their own. Get blinkers on which I'm not too crazy about for a horse that already exhibited speed (and ran reasonably straight). But, have to trust Mott. Need 6:1 for a win bet.
:2:, Spring Warrior: impressive last race dynamically. Not nearly as impressive when watching the replay. Yet, if he gets a similar trip, he should be in prime striking position.
I have lesser opinions about
:4:, Arthur: clearly prefers sprinting to routing but doesn't really have a standout race sprinting.
:3:, Hobbs: it's Clement. His horses always try and he keeps his mouth shut. Hard to throw out of any race.
