Azul Da Guanabara (#8) - Makes US debut after facing Graded Stakes company in Dubai. Races better than they look as he was facing 15-horse fields. Adds Lasix and will get good stalking trip.

Strummer (#9) - Has hit the board in 6 of 8 and those came mainly against NY state-bred competition. Fits in this 1X condition.

Moons Halo (#6) - Was facing some VERY tough animals over the winter at Gulfstream and this $275,000 sales purchase could be a surprise package.

Cool Springs Saint (#2) - Claimed by Bruce Levine 3 starts back and has recorded 2 places and a win. Chased monster in last and will play a factor once again.

The Plays: Exacta Box: 2-6-8-9 ($24)
Note: Cost based on $2 ticket.
