I do not like any of these horses.

HH - nice middle distance horse. his stamina problems will again haunt him when he meets the best, but this bunch certainly does not include the best. reluctant use as the highweight from post 11, but look to beat him in any 10 furlong race, and in 9 furlong races when he meets tougher foes.

Blue Burner - if you saw his last, it is quite clear that Puzzlement would have beaten him by 10 lengths if the race was another 100 yards, the horse just stopped.
I expect a much better effort here though. Bailey will probably head right to the rail, and make one run. not a top class animal, but I give him a shot here at 114 lbs.

Bonus Pack - I like this longshot, but I am not sure he has the class to overcome the bad post. I remember when Silver Charm came in for this race a few years ago and drew post 10, they just gave up. Stevens pulled the horse back way off the pace, and didn't use him until the end (don't think Pletcher and JR will give up that easily though). tends to flatten a bit when going nine furlongs and longer, but if Fires can work out any kind of trip, I think this one can hit the board at a decent price.

The problem with the rest of the bunch is that they all look the same to me. If any one of them runs a big new top, they probably win it. Tough race to me. I will just use the above three in the pk3, pk4, and pk6, and hope to have more of an idea in the surrounding legs (havn't looked at the rest of the card yet). Good Luck everyone.......
