I like the Pletcher colt and the Zito colt the best here.
Zito's colt (Stevil) looked pretty impressive in his debut. That race in New York and his Monday work at CD seem to indicate that - unlike others in here - he might actually be a dirt horse.
Pletcher's colt (Referee) was VERY good in his debut, and then got in over his head and had an odd trip in the 2-turn G1 at Kee. He has been working well over this track, and I think the cutback in distance will help. It looks to me like the pace might set up perfectly for him to stalk and pounce.
Considering that they are both 5/1 ML, I think they COULD be good plays come post time.
