Lauro looks tough in here, but I am leaning with abit of a price horse in 5-43 lifetime "Interpatation" in here. Crazy as it may seem but if you look at his last 3 out of 4 they really haven't been bad races at all. If you like Strike A Deal in this, you will atleast get a better price.

The Euro's showing in the Breeders Cup is still fresh in my mind. I think Lauro is solid, but doubt he'lll be near ml odds of 7-2.

I'll box him with the potential upside of 10-1 Banrock, who was flying at the end of that last race,just ran out of ground. 2-1-1 reord at this distance; 3-2-0-1 at Aqueduct

Maybe it's just me but I think this race is interesting because you can't really trust any of these horses and someone has to win.

I ended up on Strike A Deal, yes he's a renowned hole in the wallet but I had a hard time seeing he will get anything but a bad trip today if he is ridden the way he was in his last.

Still think Interpatation can run a big one, but his Jekyell and Hyde tendecies make him only an exotic play.

Edit - Scratch Interpatation
