*** After perusing the sheets for this race , it looks like jockey Todd Kabel may have made a mistake . He is named on Mobil & Wando - but it has been widely reported that he has opted for the former.
Wando is the faster of the two horses , has a nice looking line and has done nothing wrong in his career . The BC Juvenile was a toss-out as he had an impossible post . His last was an incremental top - just over a point through his 2 yo top . He has every reason to at least pair and on 5 weeks rest , a decent chance to go forward .
Mobil's last was also a top - actually a paired top and it represents a 4 point improvement on his 2 yo dirt top. He also comes to the race off a shorter layoff of 3 weeks .
Kabel has been quoted as saying he doubt's Wando's ability to get the distance . They are by the same sire and in the DRF , Wando's distance ability according to Tomlinson is actually higher than Mobil's rating . Wando appears to be a more aggressive runner , but I don't think he is a need to lead type .
Wando to win at 3-1 or better .bj
