Talk Logistics to register an upset. A couple of these will try and lock horns with the 2yo champ on the far turn and the stretch run may get a bit wobbly. Talk Logistics makes his 3rd start off the bench, closed well in his comeback where Swale contender Sonic Mule was handed an easy lead by speedball Recruiting Ready (who was trying to learn to rate or something), then finished strongly in the Mucho Macho Man after being shuffled back and waiting behind a wall of horses around the far turn. If things go crazy among the speed types (Fact Finding, Irish War Cry, etc.) he may be in position to reap the benefits. Trainer has won this race 2x in last 9 runnings.

He is another possible winner. And he ran a bullet 1/68 at PM on the 28th. Ready!

Cavil deserves a serious look as look as well. Cavil was the beaten favorite in the Mucho Macho Man and was pinned inside before throwing in the towel. I expect Lezcano to give him a more patient ride behind the projected speed in his initial route race. He'll need to be within striking distance turning for home especially with the short stretch of the first finish line. At anything close to his morning line he's worth a bet and inclusion in multi play wagers. Obviously, if the champ brings his A game they are all running for second. Very strong edition of the Holy Bull.
