Hype looks like the play, and I probably over analyzed this but others well bred for the turf may surprise and Hype closing at a mile looks vulnerable to me.

Going with #1 - Kris Silver in Race 2, itm 9 of 14 on the Turf and 5 of 9 at a mile on the lawn, looks like lone speed and won twice off the layoff.

good minds think alike. I've got Kris Silver in the 2nd... my sister's got Hype.
we both wanted to avoid the short field maiden race (I like picking the short field if viable, since better chance to advance).

only 2028 left (over 60% already out). glad I didn't pick the maiden race, because I would have taken go-go's horse that was off the board.
