(# 7) Teakwood - May have a tactical advantage in here as he is pretty quick out of the gate where most of his rivals are not. Galluscio very good with stretch out numbers (almost 30%), and he and Coa are also fine together especially at Aqueduct (32%). Big chance from on or near lead.

(# 1) Start at Five - Only fourteen lifetime starts at age seven. Runner undoubtedly needed latest try as he hadn't run in seven months. Return was fair effort and if he moves forward off that race he will be heard from against these.

(# 5) Likely Statesman - This may be the horse that our top pick has as a serious speed rival. Most of his races he runs evenly without making up any ground. Possible that he hangs around for part.

(# 6) Lucky Straight - For a small saver exacta.
