3rd: S/ALW, F&M-3+, 7f (P3, DD, Super)

Though I find most Starter ALW's tricky, this bunch is maddeningly treacherous with karma moves, trainer switches, last out winners and more to consider..

Most Likely: #4 Conga Bella 7-2: Cuts back; '10 debut this level would win.. 7th

Super Add: #3 Grosse Pointe Anne 4-1 5th


4th: CLM, 3+, 8.5f-IT (P6, P3, DD, Super)

As I've been harping, these mile and 'teenth events, especially on the Inner Turf, have been fun betting affairs; Use big prices and consider playing against ML fave Intercoastal (3-1) who neesd lead from outpost and 2nd choice El Real Madrid (7-2) who seems simply better suited for the main..
