GRAND COUTURIER - with Garcia up from post 1, this guy\'s best wins this. very dangerous obviously, but can a horse that\'s won this races the past two years offer much value?
GENTLEMAN CHESTER - the \'4\' first try past 1 1/16 was disappointing, but is this guy cycling back to the \'2\' level? with Julian saving all the ground from the 2 hole, the \'2\' would be competitive. will the son of Chester House out of an AP Indy full to Storm Bird get the 12f? interesting at 15-1.
LAURO - a nice closing 2nd at 1 3/8 over the rock hard Mth course last. should appreciate today\'s conditions. Chavez has an atrocious turf ROI, but he does save ground. last fits well here, especially at 10-1.
BETTER TALK NOW - last was actually competitive here, but the closing style could be a problem in the 10 horse field.
RISING MOON - certainly competitive off the dirt numbers, just not sure about this guy on turf.
AMERICAIN - \'3.5\' Euro top isn\'t enough, but it\'s 1st Pletcher and 1st lasix, so expect some improvement.
TELLING - could get a piece, but ground loss is going to be an issue.
QUIJANO - has a number of runs in the \'2\' range, but gets killed with weight here.
BRASS HAT - another \'2\' type. Borel is gonna have to save all the ground from the 9 hole.
MUSKETIER - has a competitive \'2\' and nice timing.
If GC fires, he wins. The other CG (2) is interesting at 15-1 with what could be a big trip edge under Leparoux. Lauro makes sense at 10-1 with the solid figures. Use the 3 inside horses, hoping the 2 or 3 hit at a price.
