I'll take a stab at this one:

The most likely favorite The Pizza Man spots 5 to 8 lbs to the rest of the field.
Gets some extra pepperoni with Javier on board today but races on 'firm' turf after a ship from the UNFairgrounds. Shortens up to a 1 1/8 and, based on his closing style, will probably get a wide trip of some sort.
Conclusion: Vulnerable favorite

1)Lukes Way- lightly raced 6 yo with a synthetic bent. With rail trip and a some back numbers that are competitive.....not totally out of the question and a use underneath

2)Legendary -7 yo off layoff. Only has a race or two that would put him over the top. At his advanced age, minor award possible with a trip.

3) Triple Threat- 6 yo Mott trainee that is light on number power. If price is high enough, may include underneath

4) All Included- Pletcher 5 yo. Generous ML for horse with some number power. Not impossible but I am not sure a new top is coming here and he will probably need it.

5) Eh Cumpari- 4yo needs a major jump up. Looks much too slow for these.

6) The Pizza Man- vulnerable odds on favorite. Seems to have run a lot of big numbers on soft, yielding turf and/or slow paced races. At age 7, despite obvious attributes, I will play against. No Dominoes for me! Will use underneath if I go vertical and will not use him if I go horizontal.

7) Takeover Target- Chad Brown 4 yo -finished behind Lukes Alley (#1) and All Included (#4) in the Fort Lauderdale but earned better number. At 10-1, think he is an obvious play. Expect this one to be bet a bit lower but will still use at half the morning line.

8) Shining Copper- seemingly one dimensional speed ball...Bit light on number power......but speed is always dangerous. (especially when they clear and save ground)

Good Luck
