If St. Liam can be as effective at 10F no one is going to beat him.

If he isn't and Lava Man is still in one piece, he'll be tough to beat if the jockey is smart enough to keep him out of a duel. I think he ran fairly well in defeat last time out, but being vanned off can't be a good sign. Especially for a horse that got good all of a sudden.

The next best horse may actually be Rock Hard Ten. I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that. IMO, he was still developing when he went bad "again", but he hasn't been that good so far and he hasn't run since the spring. Plus he's probably even money to fall apart after his prep race.

If ever there was a year for a Eurpean turfer to come here and take a shot on the dirt, this is IT!

I think your horse will run better in his next race. He was used hard while wide running into that fairly hot pace. I think it was his best effort ever.

What does the likely field look like?
