#2 Mohaymen (6-5) – $2.2 Mil purchase has done nothing wrong since day 1 and looks to be fit enough to fire again.
#5 Greenpointcrusader (8-5) – G1 winner was jeopardized by horrendous trip in BC Juvy and looks to display his ability here.
#1 Perfect Saint (20-1) – Numbers don’t look great and no work after dull performance earlier in the month, but Romans must be respected in this spot and I expect a nice late run.
