Anyone utilizing figs will see that this is a supremely well-matched group with no toss-outs and every combination of the 7 (SCR #6 Itzos) possible for the super. Instant Coffee, Asmussen and mojo stretchout runner Bromley are going to attract coin, which leads me to anticipate Two Phils (4-1 ML second choice) as a candidate to float up into value territory. Rivelli brought lone 3x winner in the field to town early to get work in over the track and regular pilot Loveberry in best form of his riding career. Had tactical sprint speed in CBY stake win and stalk and go success when winning the Street Sense and comes in as fast (or faster) as the ones who will be shorter numbers. The play..
