AQUEDUCT

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

Not sure why there isn’t more love for Peace into this, but as discussed with West Coast observers all week, Mandella putting blinkers on AFTER a win screams fine tuning for better. Hood will come in handy here too for staying close, as Lombo will stretch them out further than people might expect. Regulate laying in the weeds for Baffert. Pepe Tono won’t sneak up on anyone today. Shivermetimbers has been stuck in 2nd gear. Ayacara sneaky dangerous getting back on main track while adding blinks..

This isn’t actually ‘the world’s richest race’, but it is a novel concept and a fun early year diversion. Understand trying to beat Gun Runner at too short a price with handful of quality players in striking distance, but I find it hard to elevate one of the alternatives over him and I’d like to see him exit the stage a winner. Pace appears to be slightly faster than average and this is of course a racetrack where speed carries well. Expect Collected makes the lead after fiasco at Santa Anita, giving Sharp Azteca and Gun Runner opportunity to set up shop and stalk. West Coast and Stellar Wind should be in comfortable positions in the front half as well. Consistent, plucky War Story is the price I think you want somewhere underneath..
