Interesting how Silver Edition continues this on-race, off-race pattern. Lukas horses often find ways of rebounding off poor efforts. Cozy inside draw too.

How good is the Delta Jackpot race? So far, subsequent efforts have been poor. Turf War took advantage of the race shape too.

Isabull is intriguing after breaking from post twelve last time and nearly winning the darn thing. That was he first start since November, too.
The other bull had a good run to from a much better position. Seems like both of these should be considered.

Well the race fell apart. Picked the wrong closer.

had the right idea to throw out Turf War, just not the right horses in my box.

How in the world they sent that horse off as the favorite here is beyond me. Did they not see Z Humor's performance in Tampa this weekend? I can't believe Denis of Cork was the third choice.
