Best bet: Race 3- #4 Forever Dreaming
I think she was facing much, much better earlier this year in New Orleans and Kentucky. She should be able to sit a perfect trip in 3rd right behind the speed and take over coming into the stretch and hold off the closers. And ultimately I think the other contenders have a lot of holes, whereas I think this is a reasonable drop for her to a spot she should flourish.
Longshot: Race 9- #2 Barrel of Quests
I'm stabbing here and I get why the entire world likes Timbuktu who was wide on the inner last out throughout. But he didn't do much running and isn't most reliable sort and will be way overbet. He'll be on my multi's but I'm not crazy about him. I like Barrel of Quests off a no shot ride by (who else) Jose Ortiz. He projected to be the clear pace setter (and his trainer said he would be pre race) against a few horses that would be odds on in here and Ortiz took him back. He had no shot that day and I'm glad to see Donk switched riders. Two back he was just behind a horse who won the Timbuktu race last time. He's run better when he is involved early and there is very little speed in here. I'm hoping Dylan sends and takes them a long way
