And it gave me a trifecta to play.

� Win Candidates (Top 4)
THEN (Post 8) – improving figure, sharp trainer/jock combo, lightly raced.

NAVY SEAL (Post 3) – best TG top in field (7), classy stakes company.

TARAJ (IRE) (Post 2) – Euro with upside, Mott barn, Lasix on, very live.

RAMBLIN’ WRECK (Post 6) – consistent, strong TG figs, always around the money.

� Pace Overview
No confirmed speed demon—shape favors tactical types with a late kick, like THEN and NAVY SEAL.

Closers like THEN, TARAJ, and RAMBLIN’ WRECK could all benefit if early fractions are honest.

💰 Suggested Bets
🥇 Win Bets (value-oriented)
THEN (Post 8) — up to 4-1

TARAJ (IRE) (Post 2) — up to 6-1

🎯 Exacta Box (4-horse)
Box these:

Strong mix of class, pattern, and value.

🥉 Trifecta Structure (for value)
Trifecta Key Box (one horse on top, 3 underneath)

1st: THEN

2nd/3rd: NAVY SEAL, TARAJ, RAMBLIN’ WRECK

$6 for $0.50 base (1x3x3 combo)

TARAJ over THEN and NAVY SEAL

Pays well if Euro turns the tables with Lasix.
