this is only an Allowance N1X ,
but this field is basically looking like a Grade 3 2yo stakes.

Some expensive colts and geldings and some big name connections
(Zito/Lapenta, Pletcher/Winstar, Zayat, Tafel ... etc..).

One or two of these guys may have some potential.

9 horses entered
6 of the horses morning line odds are from 3-1 to 6-1

Eatons Gift is the horse to beat.

I like the Pletcher colt and the Zito colt the best here.
Zito's colt (Stevil) looked pretty impressive in his debut. That race in New York and his Monday work at CD seem to indicate that - unlike others in here - he might actually be a dirt horse.
Pletcher's colt (Referee) was VERY good in his debut, and then got in over his head and had an odd trip in the 2-turn G1 at Kee. He has been working well over this track, and I think the cutback in distance will help. It looks to me like the pace might set up perfectly for him to stalk and pounce.
Considering that they are both 5/1 ML, I think they COULD be good plays come post time.

Eaton's Gift is a very impressive animal. Had a problem in debut, layoff , looked like a monster on the keeneland track, big local worktab

I like Stevil -if he shows any improvement off his debut. He out-gamed Honour Above Self, and I would call that one a very "solid" but not spectacular horse. Recent work strong.

Referee did look great in his debut. He won at Turfway and he was right in behind the first flight getting some kickback , and showed a big late move. big local worktab

I really have no clue about American Hustler. Fairly precocious pedigree. Is that some turf influence on his damside? Only run on synthetic tracks????????

The Tafel homebred Unbridled Vicar lacks early speed, has a nice sprint-closer style. Looks fairly classy and has proven can show a response - on polytrack. Not a pedigree master here, but the pedigree looks fine for dirt to me? 4 works @ Hawthorne , wish i had a Hawthorne "clocker"

The five horses you named finished 1-2-3-4-5 and The Bid picked the winner.
Nice job guys.

Referee is my early favorite 2 year old of the crop. Had a large bet on him today, still thought he ran extremely well. Absolutely horrible trip, in tight the whole time and nowhere to go turning for home. Hopefully that will help his odds next time out.

The KK Yonegwa race was a monster maiden race.
