(# 3) MONOPLY PRICING - An inner track specialist, he made a menacing move while wide over an inside speed biased track on Feb. 29. He continued on gamely to the wire, only to be beaten late by the eventual wire-to-wire winner who rode the golden rail virtually every step of the way. With the inner track season drawing to a close, you can be sure Violette will have this runner cranked up and ready to go, as evidenced by his near bullet work on Feb 10. He projects to sit a good trip off what figures to be a lively pace with Coa.

(# 1) MAYAN KING - Defeated the top pick with a game front-running score on Feb. 9, racing along a very live rail. Will probably revert to stalking tactics today with Dominguez aboard. Has won stalking in the past, but an outside post while picking up weight could pose a problem.

(# 2) HAPPY HUNTING - Returns from a layoff after wintering in Florida. He has obviously met and defeated better. A Grade 3 winner over this track, who is unbeaten in two starts over the inner, is just now making his 2007 debut which is problematic to me.
