Great Merit (#2) - Son of Maria's Mon was a $100,000 sales purchase that hails from the John Ward barn, who also trained most famous son of Maria's Mon, Monarchos. This sire gets horses to win very early in their careers and he's been working great.

Prophet John (#5) - Trainer Nick Zito usually doesn't win with his horses at first asking, however, this one is working great and well bred. Have a feeling this one might break that Zito mold as he must be ready to run being entered at this tough 7 furlong extended sprint distance.

Indian Silver (#10) - Made a strong move only to tire in debut. His bard wins with 16% of their second time starters, so improvement is expected.

Zinzan (#8) - Hasn't lived up to his $1.3 Million dollar purchase price but may not have liked that Gulfstream Park surface. Since shipping into Keeneland he's looked much better in his workouts.

The Plays: Exacta Box 2-5-8-10 ($24).
Note: Cost based on a $2 ticket.
