Current difficulty of speed-mad turf makes these decisions tricky. Could a Forever Ever plus grab lead and prove uncatchable? Franco did it yesterday for Sciacca/Henning with dirt/turf stretchout Baronet who exploded. Carmouche typically aggressive and may be compelled to go forward with 2nd/layoff Killarney Rose (5-1). Will at least be on front end of things and feels like right mare to key. Cap’s Vow saddled with off-turf in seasonal debut and likely floats up from 7-2 ML..

Best Value: #3 Killarney Rose 5-1 4th
