6th: Oceanside-R, 3yo, 1m-T (P3, DD)
Blingo is an underlaid 3-1 fave here and needs a spirited pace battle up front to win. Boat Trip the horse to beat from my perspective and there’s no harm in trying to knock him off too. Sadler explained on ATR that You Know I Know will opt for easier spot leaving barnmate Koast as his representative, but stretchout a big question mark at low tote. Midnight Crooner was a horse that really looked good breaking his maiden at Golden Gate and timing is right for him to take step forward..

This division being billed as coming out party for Holy Candy. Full sib Holloween Candy — campaigned by Mark Verge — won 5x and was plenty OK on turf. 7-5 not too pleasing but may end up being more than appropriate..
