I just started handicapping the spa's Friday card, and guess what race 6 is?! The specialist favorite appears to be Pipe Bomb, with Second in Command an interesting "2nd tier" specialist (4th race off layoff, first sprinting on grass). Your garden variety turf router is Long Since Past - toss him.
Traffic Cheif in off long layoff; he's a router, so this looks like an obvious prep, although he did break his maiden sprinting and was 3rd in a state bred stake at the spa on the dirt last year, so he's not a complete toss, although his breeding for turf is suspect, so, ok, toss him.
Alphabetical has a good turf route, so keep him as a contender. Sinbad the Sailor has ok breeding, so keep him too.

So
Pipe Bomb - legit low price fave
Second in Command - interesting specialist, possibly at a price
Sinbad the Sailor - potential Longshot contender based largely on breeding
Alphabetical - legit turf router who I suspect will be overbet in this spot
Troffci Cheif - try to beat at probable underlay

So I'd play this race looking for a price on 2IC and/or Sinbad.

Now, this was done just looking at the bris ultimate pp's. Let's see what our opinion is when the sheets get posted tonight.
