I was leaning more towards the 7 as well. I assume the M/L was there since it took him so long to break his maiden and this is his first Vs. winners.
I think they'll be too much pace for Del Conte or Rainbow Goose to be win candidates, although I'm going to cover both in a save pick 4 ticket.
Right now, I'm leaning towards the 3, Tiger Ridge as my top choice.
They obviously thought a lot of him entering in the Norfolk off his maiden win in which he beat both Chocolate candy and Orthodox. If he takes the the turf, I think he's got a decent chance with the way the race may play out.
Brushburn has the obvious turf pedigree, but may be a little overmatched off the long layoff.
My top 3 in order:
3 - tiger Ridge
7 - Meteore
9 - Santamonicacanyon
