(# 1A) AL'S LARK - Sharp and consistent sprinter exits a series of fast races last three starts off a layoff. Tactical speed and right post to sit a perfect trip. Reunited with Coa.

(# 7) Mockingbird Lane - Loves to run second, so that is where I am placing him. Comes off three straight second-place finishes despite tough trips. Gets a monumental rider change to Dominguez.

(# 2) Estimator - Victimized by troubled start and wide trip in last. Good efforts prior three starts. Switches to Maragh who is having a strong meet.
