Gotta love this race as everyone looks good and playable with some kind of angle.

I'm gonna probably go with Researcher as I think he might get the best trip in the race behind Finallymadeit. He will get first run while I think the pace will be slow enough so that he will have plenty left in the stretch to hold off the closers....Jock is going to have to be very careful, if Finallymadeit gets loose and slows it up too much he'll fight you to the end..

I've been waiting for Asiatic Boy to come to the states since he won the UAE derby in a gallop. I think they said he bled in his last so he has finally come here and added lasix. If you throw out his last with the bleeding and the slop in Dubai he ran a very good race previous to that and it seems like he can stay close enough to the pace to also get a good run in before the others and with the lasix added today, who knows. I'm not playing him today as I think he will be overbet today. But if he goes off over 5/1 I'll be taking a long look.

Just as an aside..If Alphabet Magic wins this race..They'll have to put me on suicide watch..He paired his last year's top in last and with the average sire improvement of 3 points from 3 to 4 coupled with the weight break and the rail trip he could be in the thick of things at the end. I just can't see the race setting up for him though, can't get loose on the lead and does not seem as strong a closer as the others..Absolute longshot play..
