(# 3) Atouratoura - Made a strong move into a fast pace on Jan. 28. He failed to sustain that bid in a very swiftly run race. With a softer pace scenario today, he will be closer to the lead while either setting or stalking modest fractions. Has since come back to work a strong five furlongs and appears primed for a top effort.

(# 1) At First Blush - Fell into a perfect set-up off a three-month break on Jan. 18, handling the top pick to run a very strong final furlong. Some reservations that he can duplicate that race and get the same kind of trip which was probably a career best effort.

(# 7) Sir Tyler T - Game win for trainer Bruce Levine on the drop. Sat a perfect stalking trip and proved best. Freshened up a bit and can either win/fill out the exacta if the other two don't fire their best shots.
