This race can go a few different ways!
Stunned that this horse is the ML favorite, I see him going off at double digit odds. Need the lead type that won't get it with a ton of speed in the race plus is losing lasix today. I would love to see him at 3-1 to help the pools because he is a toss for me.
Maiden that doesn't belong in the race coming off of a 20 length loss. Lucky to beat a horse.
Remington Park horse with horrible final times. Deserves to be 30-1 ML Toss
This is the head scratcher for me. Only beat the three by two lengths but his race before that was solid. Asmussen is a plus but worry what happens when he doesn't get within three lengths going into the first turn. Can he close? Guess we find out! Contender if able to settle a few lengths back.
Baffert horse, the question is what caused the turnaround. Was it getting the lead or was it the stretch out. Wasn't bet at all in a five horse field coming off of a win. Guessing he goes like gangbusters for the front. Win contender if able to seize the lead, if not, could easily see him finishing out of the super.
My longshot to crash the exotics. Improving speed figures every race and beat the four already. Why no workouts over 4F being off over 90 days seems strange. Has the right running style to get in there.
Asmussen horse with loads of talent and very fast early. Who gets the lead, him or Baffert's horse. That is the million dollar question. It seems there is never a two horse duel where they go head to head from the start. My top selection as I think he gets the lead and never looks back. If not, he could run out of the super.
Slow two races and loses lasix but could improve enough to hit the bottom of the exotics. Not the worst longshot ever.
Still a maiden and massively regressed going two turns. Toss
Horse has fallen apart in the stretch last two when close to the lead and won't be close up early today. No indication he can make up ground in the stretch. Toss
Only two of his eight starts have been a route. Doesn't seem to have any power in the stretch and never well bet for a Justify offspring. Possible he could hit the board if a speed duel occurs and he tries coming from farther back.
Cox horse but his last two were awful and the post isn't going to do him no favors. He has fallen apart in races that weren't that fast. His only saving grace is he is the class of the field coming in off of a G1 and a G2 but he needs to improve, maybe the weaker competition helps spark him to life. Still hard to play him on top.
