Looks like you're stuck with as tough a card as I've seen for awhile. The biggest difficulty, as I see it, is that there are very few horses which can be keyed with confidence. As a result, the most difficult decision you have to make is whether to play conservatively or swing for the fences. I suggest at least a little of the former, as it's the kind of card where good handicapping may not be rewarded at the real or imaginary windows.
That said, my best key of the day is Transcendental in the 4th, which I would consider playable at 2-1 or higher. Second,I think Gygistar & True Direction tower over the field in the 8th, & both are sitting on a big effort. Finally, Beat Hollow & With Anticipation look better than Hap & STS, at least to me.
For contest purposes, I'd bet $300 on Trans to win, a $250 exacta Gyg over TD, a $150 exacta TD over Gyg, a $20 tri key Beat with WA,Hap,STS, a $20 tri key WA with BH,Hap,STS, & a $60 st exacta BH over WA.
