What we have here is two big favorites and eight longshots. Are they going to run 1-2, get split, or is someone going to upset both of them. Unless one of them throws in a total clunker hard to see either out of the super.
HEARTENED 10-1 ML Stole his maiden win in close to a front running win in slow fractions in only a six horse field at 2-5. Pletcher horse is going to have to come from far back against these. Has a shot to hit the tri or super as he looks better than a few of these.
EVERDOLT 30-1 ML He is at least going to make the early part interesting as I see him sprinting for the lead but doubt he is anywhere close at the end. Pass
GIVE ME LIBERTY 30-1 ML Still a maiden after three starts and let Dimatic blow by him and he came back to be up the track in the Rebel but was also only three and a half lengths behind Common Defense two back who ran well in the Rebel. While his Brisnet figures have improved each start would need another leap forward to hit the bottom of the tri or super but not impossible.
GOOD MONEY 15-1 ML Debut maiden winner now stretches out but gets a big class test today. Had the perfect set up but hard to see that playing out today. Hard to endorse!
DOMESTIC PRODUCT 8-5 ML Big rebound from his Remsen debacle but those slow fractions from the Holy Bull aren't repeating today. Will be further back than I think he wants to be but has a huge class edge over everyone but No More Time. If he improves off the last race he is the one to beat. The pick!
CAITRE VIZCAYA 30-1 ML Seems like a sprinter to me and those last two were awful. Will be hard pressed to beat a single horse. Pass
NO MORE TIME 7-5 ML It looks clear that he wants to be on the front to do his best running and I don't think he gets it. He can always hope the jockey falls off Everdolt again.
One of the top contenders but tread cautiously about thinking he is a sure thing to be in the exacta.
CRAZY MASON 12-1 Didn't run a step in the Sam Davis and is making his eight start already. Obvious his best races are sprinting. Seems up against it today! Not much to like!
GRAND MO THE FIRST 12-1 ML Here is my longshot to be in the trifecta and possibly win it all. I think he is crying out for more distance and if he is then a huge race is in store. Looks solid!
STURDY 8-1 ML Still a maiden after three starts and was no match for Domestic Product two back. This one will be closing in the lane and can finish up the super or fifth for the super Hi 5.
My selections are
That Super Hi 5 could pay a grand for a buck. That is worth the $24 risk keying the five on top of those four.
