Race goes through streaking Botanical, but Renegade Rebel and Flashy Gem could spar on the front end and one or the other may shake loose. Not sure what to make of 1st N.A. Bolivie who has been in competing in the French provinces (as they say), but presence of Irad certainly an endorsement..

Would love to make a case for a price here, but Bolt d’Oro (Favored #1 Major Dude) is 10/31 with his synthetic runners and Irad should get an ideal inside/out, stalk and go trip. Trust Rivelli’s plan with Two Phils (7-2) as well and Sano brings Battaglia winner Congruent back to Florence Y’all..
