Fun, competitive group that sure looks like it has contentious pace. Can Mike Moore’s legit That’s Right take them the extra yardage out to 6f? On the distance topic, note that Too Many Twizzlers (Won), Run Curtis Run (2nd) and Sousa Summer (3rd) cut back from the added trip 6.5f at KY Downs. Outlaw Kid won sharply at 6f over the course 5 weeks ago and looks like a potential lean for budgetary considerations..

Tricky read.. Should probably be a little against Peaceful Waters who exploded at SAR (monsterous TG fig of -3) but has had time to recover. Repeat makes him tough and not sure if he’ll get much pressure with Coppola, adding Johnny, the best candidate to attend pace.

Very difficult to seperate these 2yo’s with those that have run pretty much indistinguishable. Bob & Lawana Low 3rd generation home bred Paint Me Perfect (15-1), who tail female traces back to Capote Belle, is going to be overlooked after forgettable dirt debut, but dam Kabella (Kitten’s Joy) was a minor turf stake winner. As viable as any her at boxcars. Similarly, capable Caramori sends American Odalisque (30-1) who has turf potential on both sides of her page and would ignite the exotics..

Yikes. A gaggle of interesting players — favored Strobe (9-5), newly gelded Mahaamel (4-1), Emperador (12-1), 3yo Classic Moment (20-1) & Bauer’s Angkor (6-1) — return from considerable layoffs, and there’s plenty of others to consider here too. Tough call, but at 20-1, Classic Moment appears like a very embraceable price key. May want one turn, worked uncharacteristically sharp (for barn) weeks ago at ELP and Gaffalione has been a big price go-to for Asmussen..
