With the derby next week, nice time to build a little bankroll.
Anybody look at Keenland's 8th tomorrow. Looks to me like Formal Attire has a shot at a very nice price (8-1 ML).
Niigon and Go Now are both too slow and not usable in the exotics.
Ole Faunty is fast at his best, but currently off form. Possibly use in tri's but not on top.
Pies Prospect has a fast top, but his form is erratic and he is coming off an awful race. Use in exotics.
Alumni Hall and Best Minister are coming out of a fast race 19 days ago. It was a paired top for Alumni Hall and a new top for Best Minister. Off the new top and short rest, have to bet against Best Minister. Alumni Hall is more consistently fast and a must use in exotics.
Colonial Colony is fast and a key in the exotics. Has more rest than AH and BM and could be sitting on a good one. Think he might have a little traffic to overcome and not have as smooth a trip as Formal Attire, but must use in exotics.
Formal Attire ran a concealed new top in his last. Now gets 2 months rest by Biancone and his horses tend to fire fresh. If you look at his last three races since the trainer switch to Biancone, he has been involved in races with seriously fast paces. Wanderin Boy went 45.3, in the Sprint they went 43 and change. Formal Attire has more speed than current form shows and with the run into the first turn, Prado should get him in position either just off the lead on the rail, or possibly even on the lead. His top is slower than PP and AH, but he gets weight from both and could fire a big one fresh for Biancone. Think at a square price, he is the value play.
