| Overview | An extremely deep AOC going long on the main, with several different ways to go, which makes looking for a price imperative. |
| Pace | It looks hot and contested—a real rarity in a dirt route—so hopefully the field stays in tact and everyone that is supposed to go, actually does go. |
| Trends | Tactical speed going long on the dirt is usually preferred, though you can still come from out of it if things gets contested up front, which hopefully is the case here. |
| Best Bet | RISK TAKING |
| Number | 3 |
| Morning Line | (6-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #3 RISK TAKING (6-1): Fringer Triple Crown contender petered out when the real running began after his G3 win this winter but he returns in the right spot today, adds Lasix too, and—most important of all—looks primed to take advantage of what should be a hot and contested early pace. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WPS bet and bold single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
