#6 Go Astray (3-1) – Speed and the slight cut back make her a logical choice.
#2 Crazy for Sofia (7-2) – Bullet 2 back for Sano and red hot Gaffalione takes the mount.
#4 Indian Myth (8-1) – 3 blowouts in a row and barn can pop with a price on debut.

R7 – Clm 10k (Turf 8.5F)

#3 It’s a Given (6-1) – Has shown the ability to lead and rate which is a plus in this mad scramble.
#4 Forall the Marbles (8-1) – There’s other so called speed lined up, but he might be the quickest.
#9 Golden Point (7-2) – Look for a rally from midpack for 1st time with Nicks,
#11 Lay It Down (9-2) – Consistent sort around this level should be used for all slots.

R8 – Md 10k

#4 Mongolian Dancer (8-1) – Solid turf to dirt barn and it won’t take much of an improvement to graduate versus this bunch.

R9 – Clm 10k B (Turf 7.5F)

#12 Great Skellig (4-1) – New barn and Gaffalione sticks with this off the pace threat.
#10 Campaigner’s Gold (12-1) – Draw a line through last try in the slop S and Corny hops aboard.

R10 – Clm 6.25k

R11 – FB Soldier’s Dancer 100k (Turf 8.5F)

#3 Entertainin (6-5) – Absolutely lays over this field from a Class point of view, but he is 0 for 4 on this course.
#7 Keepthedreamalive (5-1) – Has the type of speed to run away and hide from this field before they realize what hit them.
#5 Squadron (20-1) – Has been decent in young career and with a step forward could blow this rainbow up in the finale.
#2 Galleon Mast (10-1) – Always fires his race and if others don’t come to run watch out.
