POST-SCRATCHES

8th: 138th Withers (G3), 3yo, 9f (DD)

Distance the question to float here and Servis choosing to get it answered early on the Trail with Firenze Fire. Meanwhile, we know Avery Island & Marconi want the trip. Solid, experienced Bal Harbour ships up from FL and provides some value. Six line up and without a great deal of pace, this is a chess match among the jocks..

SCR NOTE ~ California Night SCR’ing from Withers leaving no authentic speed.. Avery Island and an aggressive Carmouche on Bal Harbour likely spar sparingly.

Best Value: #3 Bal Harbour 6-1 5th
Next Best: #2 Marconi 3-1 3rd
Exotics Use: #4 Avery Island …
