Several are looking to punch their ticket to the Breeder\u2019s Bowl in four weeks assuming a quick turnaround. Lots of value to be found in the betting in this one as almost none can be ruled out of the exotics and there is a 17\/1 runner with a legitimate shot for the win.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/><o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><SPAN style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold\"><FONT size=4>\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><H1 style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><FONT size=4>BELONG TO DAN<SPAN style=\"mso-tab-count: 2\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><SPAN style=\"mso-tab-count: 1\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>PP1<SPAN style=\"mso-tab-count: 1\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>12\/1<SPAN style=\"mso-tab-count: 1\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><SPAN style=\"mso-tab-count: 1\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>H Philso 4%<\/FONT><\/H1><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><SPAN style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold\"><FONT size=4>Scratch bred Belong to Me x A.P.

Broke his maiden 2 back with a deep closing trip.

With a little continued improvement and a competent ride, he\u2019ll be in the mix at the end but he\u2019ll have to come through quite a few stalkers to get the win.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><SPAN style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic\"><FONT size=4>\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><H1 style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><SPAN style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: italic\"><FONT size=4>OCELOT<SPAN style=\"mso-tab-count: 1\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><SPAN style=\"mso-tab-count: 2\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><SPAN style=\"mso-tab-count: 1\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>PP11<SPAN style=\"mso-tab-count: 1\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>17\/1<SPAN style=\"mso-tab-count: 1\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><SPAN style=\"mso-tab-count: 1\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><SPAN style=\"mso-tab-count: 1\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>T Moss 12%<o:p><\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/H1><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><FONT size=4><SPAN style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic\">Spinning World colt took a couple of races to really find his stride, but apparently is an apt student.
