Very interesting and important edition considering Breeder’s Cup comes over this strip 5 weeks from today. Clearly goes through Baffert who sends troika of high quality sophomores, but Dr. Schivel earned favoritism on Jon White’s line and comes in hot and fresh..

Hadn’t noticed potential for how competitive Bye Bye Bobby (15-1) was until seeing Clocker Report and noting his effort topping stablemate Senor Buscador. While Slow Down Andy is the one to beat, ‘other’ Fincher and Piroli (12-1) are the fun prices that can impact this..

Bran and Lane Way are the top contenders, but it is the hill course and turnbacks yield nice priced surprises regularly. I’m a Gambler has been knocking on the breakthrough door and this configuration may suit him. Internet will lose it’s mind if Peter Miller jumps up with Radical Right (20-1), but he’s a clear contender with solid mark on lawn (11/1-4-3) and career best Beyer (95) coming 2 back in DMR lawn dash..

Hong Kong Harry way the horse to beat, but Il Bellator (15-1) finished a length behind him in the Shoemaker and Irideo (8-1) actually finished in front of both of them. Also, I’m not convinced the Hit the Road (15-1) can’t run at this level anymore..
