Best bet: SIN NOMBRE (1)
Best value: OURDAYDREAMINGGIRL (8)
FIRST: Sin Nombre gets confident price boost after hard-charging second in last; more to give. Confabulation is speedy and could prove very tough on a soft lead. Flat On has finished third in four of last five starts; more show dough?
SECOND: Unbroken Chain made menacing middle move when a willing third in last; takes another forward step. Hey Toby gets favorable cutback to mile; dangerous. Three B’s delivers big efforts with machinelike consistency.
THIRD: Off Script should pack intensified wallop with cutback to mile. Capital Gal owns speed and could prove tough on a soft lead. She’s Grand owns five wins and a second from nine starts; right in the thick of this.
FOURTH: Beary Funny was a clear-cut second to a much-the-best winner in last. What’s Up Bro is quick from gate and could play out as the speed of the speed. Trust Fund owns three wins and two thirds from last five starts; logical contender.
FIFTH: Mister Holden is speedy, rested and logged three tight works for local debut. Run Happy Pappy could be the prime beneficiary if pace meltdown ensues. Mr. Ripple takes suspicious price plunge; fire sale?
SIXTH: Come Full Circle made sustained rally when third in last; call based on price potential. Cool Hand Rich owns speed and makes third start of form cycle; very playable. Lean Music Machine drops and owns fast figures; likely to be overbet.
SEVENTH: Aleah Aleah exits front-running score at Parx last time; takes another. Skylander runs late and will be in the garden spot if top selection hits the wall. He’s Got This is another that would be aided by pace collapse.
EIGHTH: Ourdaydreaminggirl fired two 5-furlong bullets since improved third in last; more in the tank. Weigh the Risks has won five of last six and hails from Chad Brown barn; all the earmarks of an underlay. Scalable is riding a forward line on the numbers; must consider.
NINTH: Sports Hero was a non-stressful third in last; slight cutback plays to strength. Alias makes quick return and owns field’s fastest numbers on best efforts; short price is the problem. Into Inspiration is speedy and fresh; don’t ignore. Army Proud has finished second in last two starts; must be factored into the mix.
