My 2 cents......
Not hard at all to make a case for CR. Maybe the jockey switch to CV will help and like most races at the 6F distance it will boil down to positioning and trip. Haven't seen the replays so not sure how bad his trouble was but he may be due for some 'racing luck'. MM will take plenty of cash and I don't believe he towers out over this field. MM will have to negotiate traffic with his closing style so he is just as likely to run into problems. Based on comments read here at DT, the jockey switch to Prado doesn't scare me either.
My concern this race would be with the Clement horse Five Towns. He may be ready to go 2nd off the bench and he also has comparable numbers to both CR and MM. I would love to get 6-1 on either FT or CR. Even Peperoni has some numbers (throwing out his last) that suggest he may be in the hunt. Curious to see if he gets a firm course and what he can do on it.
There's value here in my opinion and I like the EX BOX of 5-7-9.
For what it's worth..........
