#6 DROSSELMEYER (4-1) earned strong triple digit speed
rating in sharp entry level win at the Gulf last time. Gets pace to chase and
should get a big jump on his late running rivals. $600k Keeneland sales grad is
2 for 2 on conventional dirt and should continue to progress for Mott. #9 Stay
Put (8-1) has been pointing to this for quite some time. Stretch runner is 2
for 2 here. #11 Ron The Greek (3-1) rolled from off the pace in the Lecomte,
and he’ll be rumbling home again. #10 Letsgetitonmon (8-1) rallied for the show
in Lecomte. He can get a piece once again. #12 Hotep (12-1) looked good
rallying for win in paceless optional claiming affair last time. Albarado
sticks with well bred colt.
