Lone start winning fave No Mo Promises returns for Santulli/Duarte after 20 month layoff and seems plenty vulnerable, but many of the contenders sport ugly 1-fer records (1/18 Elenzee, 1/17 No Regrets, 1/24 La Maquina Gris, etc.). 3/1-0-0 Gallant Bid (6-1) SCR’D drops from starter company for Linda Rice, but may not get pace to chase. 6/1-0-1 Phil Gleaves homebred Yes and Yes (8-1) returns to site of his promising debut win..
