(# 1) PURPLE ACES - Has failed to show the speed he demonstrated at Philadelphia Park on Dec. 23, albeit with excuses in subsequent starts. Suffered a wide trip on Jan. 14 in a race that finished well late. Tough trip with a slow pace from an outside post on Feb. 1. Finished with some interest late. Has been freshened and now stretches out meeting a field lacking much in the way of early pace, at least on paper. Near bullet work on March 1. Dangerous speed around two turns breaking from the rail.

The Plays: $15 to ein and place on #1.
Total Wager = $30.00.
