Even though it's only five horses, it's five quality horses. Much better than a full field with only one or two of these and the usual allowance/claimers that fill the rest of the field.

I think Heatseeker is better than Tiago on synthetics overall.

tiago gets more weight this time, and will carry four more than heatseeker-i think heatseeker will avenge his loss at oaklawn.

i'd say it's three quality horses....albertus has an allowance win this year, with nothing of note since finishing second in last years' swaps. shamdinan has only disappointed this year.

Probably right although with a French Derby third and a BC Turf second on his record to go with the Arlington grade one, I'd be ok with accepting Shamdinan as a quality horse. Even if it's only three though, it's better than a full field of nags.

By the way, Surf Cat beats them all.
