That race seems volatile to me. Mission drive looks solid, but you have to worry about Rosario screwing things up. Private Relations gives me mixed signals. You do have a horse who raced credibly against tougher getting class relief, but there are others in the race in that same boat. He doesn't look that much faster than these and he has 124 pounds and an outside post to contend with. Could he be there, sure, but he will be no bargain.

For me, I like the inside and the outside. Key to the Bridge has the rail and low weight and is also getting class relief. Lightly raced with excuses, should definitely improve, only question is how much....weight and rail help. The outside horse, Veya, another of the ones in here seeking class relief, has very solid number power. Also, if you take the view that 1 mile is this guy's sweet spot and throw out his 9 furlong and 11 furlong tries, then he all of a sudden looks a lot better (of course, he still needs to get in the race and get over a bad post).
