Back to this race. -

Aquarian- with the rail, the short run-up, and Cornelio Velasquez - expect to see this horse break alertly and hustled up to position just behind the 2 or 3 speeds. If such position is established, Aquarian has an excellent chance to get into winning position around the 2nd turn and entering the stretch.

Alaazo- Desormeaux will also have to hustle this one out of the gate. The 10 seconds they have to get to turn 1 means that he absolutely must establish position, but it also means that should he establish position ,that he won't get left in the dust. If he has that much talent, he will get his chance to show it. Around turn-2, he will will get a chance to try to come on even terms with Aquarian. His first quarter position, his ability, Aquarian, the track will all play a role.

Mambo Meister has an outside shot to contend for the win. Castellano has to establish that forwardly placed position before they hit the first turn. Will JJ have a little more left than Nunez? Don't expect a clear lead.-Atwell may actually lead early but is not going to last 8 furlongs.

No one else has a chance to win the race. place show and 4th is another story
