Just 6 for this but feels slippery even with presence of 4-5 Kauai Katie who is drawn ideally for up close stalking trip. Too much speed here for this not to invite consideration of a meltdown and that gives you first dirt Spring Venture & outsider Ashlee's Princess. Mystery Horse is the Puerto Rican invader Fusaichiswonderful and fact that Rosario lands on her says something..

As demonstrated by Beholder's upset Monday, returning Champions get no quarter from eager foes and Shanghai Bobby will need to come back running here from tricky berth. Frac Daddy, Bern Identity, Dewey Square and Itsmyluckyday the obvious alternatives for those aggressively trying to beat Pletcher/Starlight 2yo hero and Tulira Castle could be magic key to boosting deep exotics. Mike Welsch relayed amazing numbers from the 8.5f Gulfstream races so far this year, showing 14 of 21 contests at the trip have been won by horses from posts 1-3..
