Can play it even cheaper if you willing to stand against Ritchey's firster in the opening leg.

From a breeding standpoint, the 5 - Bally Buff, does not look like a monster first out. Forbidden Apple is below average with firsters and the fact that he can still command a $5k fee is beyond me. Bally Buff's half brother by Hennessy is still a maiden after 13 tries.
That said, Ritchey's 21% with firsters and the gelding has been working well. Tough call, but if the 1A improves off his last, I don't think this one can run with him.
Look for the 2 - Coastal Art to be picking off horses late. His two works at Classic Mile are not bad for that deep strip. He'll be legged up after those works. Not a threat to win, but a big threat to hit the board at a big price.
