6/1

Never out of the money in 6 lifetime starts, this three year old is stepping up in class, but the extra distance may be just what the doctor ordered for this closer.

Looks like it might be too big a class jump for this former claimer to handle with these, based on past speed #s.

Solid at this distance, but class might be a factor. Only prior time in a stakes race, he was well-beaten. Pace a factor, will need the best race of his life to compete here.

9/5

Looks to be the closing end of a two-horse duel here with the horse next to him in the 5 slot.. This one has the class, speed, and the experience at this distance. Only concern is traffic for this deep closer.

This one has the same kind of gaudy credentials as High Five II, but with all his speed up front. If no one goes with this guy to press the pace, he could very possibly wire this field.

4/1

Hard worker who will give 100% every race, still seems a bit overmatched against the first two favorites. Might move up for a piece, but probably not for the win.
