WIN CONTENDERS:
Yoshida - Golden opportunity today to play the rail into the first turn. You have to hope that Rosario understands the golden opportunity. Then you have to hope that the break is clean, and that the horse can run to form. If all that goes well, you still don't get a good price, but at least you have the winner.
Kurilov - Weak field falls into his lap. Figures to get a fair trip, but can't be lazily handled into the first turn, otherwise could be getting pushed around.
Seeking the Soul - Probably the 'best' horse in the race, but if he's a 'key' in your Trifecta, you would need to use in all three spots.
Sunny Ridge - Like the
, if all goes well he'll be sitting pretty. But a lot has to go well and the value stinks.
VALUE ADDS:
Patch. - Race sets up for Patch. He can run 3rd or 4th and help a tri or super. He's this race's 'Discreet Lover'.
Tapwrit - Make sure you are actually getting 5,6-1 or more. He's a danger to lose value to popularity. He can run 3rd or 4th or even 2nd with a dream trip. Current form is relatively good (compared to Tapwrit's form cycle), and he draws well in a mediocre field).
Term of Art - It's a 'reach', but he could get a good trip in here with the lack of early pace and the short-run to the 1st-turn.
