Like Sir Greeley in here 2nd off the layoff with a lot of speed up front, but does anyone think that Introspect has a chance? I liked his last against Sharp Humor and Gold and Roses - beaten only 1 1/4 - and gets 9 & 7 lbs from the faves. His most recent works seem to be very solid and I think he may be sitting on a big one.

Yes! He will get the garden trip behind the significant speedballs in here, Castellano stays on, and the trainer doesn't win much but this is his meet to do it in (note the fact that he's 4.7% on the year but in his 10 starters this meet he's got a win, a 2nd, and a 3rd.)
As my buddy Sniper noted, his boy Sir Greeley is more suited to 7F-1Mi than 6F, and I can't see Afrashad getting away on an easy lead even though one of the speeds was scratched (Lucky Gamble... which would have been a sentimental choice, a personal favorite of mine for his 2/25 win completing the Pick 6 for me!) Afrashad either wins, barely holds third, or is off the board completely... Mr. Whitestone and Crafty Cammack are the obvious other contenders. Can't see Kazoo getting a piece.
I'm going to key Introspect in the trifecta with my additional opinion on Afrashad's placing:
2/1,5,6/1,3,5,6 $3 - $27
3,5,6/2/1,5,6 $2 - $16
3,5,6/1,5,6/2 $1 - $8
$51 investment.
