This race is like a comeback race for many horses trying to overcome age and downturns in form. I remember when Magnum was a real horse challenging Lava Man on several occasions. On his old form, he's there but maybe that was too long ago. Seems like a lot of early speed here and interested to see if Racketeer can go longer with that nice kick. You know Well Armed would be a lock if his ast race wasn't a dude. I say he comes back to form and takes it.

1st - Well Armed 3/1
2nd- Magnum 20/1
3rd- Racketeer 30/1

I'll box the exacta and hope one of the bombs comes in.

Interestingly, Magnum, age 8, also is running for the first time since being gelded.

I like Marchfield from off the pace, big class drop from Woodbine to Santa Anita, sad to say.
