M\'s Will seems usable, but this is a tough little race you found, Pres.
He seems stuck on the same number he\'s run 3 of his last 4 (which might be good enough to win), so I don\'t know where any improvement going to come from. It seems to be a \"must\" that he runs the same again just to contend, and there are at least 4 others in here that can run as fast. M\'s Will does pick up 1 TG point on the 5 lb weight shift, though. He\'ll need it.
The big dog here is #11 Russell Road, who has the best numbers, although they were earned solely at ChuckTown, where you have to make like 12 turns to go the 7 furlongs he\'s been running lately. Russell Road is curving back to his best effort but is vulnerable from the outside post. Don\'t like him at 2-1, but can\'t see tossing him either.
Other possibilities:
#4 Nay\'s Tap shows a recent tight pair and seems at least as good as M\'s Will. Is there more horse back there? Your call. ML 6-1 seems about right.
#6 Citizen and #8 Easy Gallop both have some competitive numbers to run back to, except that Citizen is ML 12-1 and Easy Gallop is 3-1.
That makes Citizen the focus of this race for me, and the fact that he is trained by Bernie Flint is simply a bonus. If M\'s Will *and* Citizen go off at 10-1 or more, I might dutch \'em to win in addition to the exotics.
