Day's most intriguing affair offers wide variety of price options starting with the Clement's Community Adjusted (10-1).

The best hop is the drop and it may be all 5yo Clever Fellow needs to find elusive winner's circle, but singling him feels mighty perilous given his repeated placements. Viking Zim exits live race ~ Danzigwiththestars won again Sunday ~ and likely arrives on the scene on a more timely basis today. Addicted to You, a bulbous 30-1, has had trouble of one sort or another repeatedly and is within range of the contenders beyond the (shaky) favorite..

Most Likely: #4 Clever Fellow 6-5 WON ($3.80)
Next Best: #10 Viking Zim 3-1 2nd
Best Value: #9 Addicted to You 30-1 8th
Exotics Use: #8 Ghostmon 8-1 4th
