(# 5) FAVORITE SWEEP - Race is jam packed with cheap speed if all participate. Veteran war-horse was claimed two back by the Contessa barn, and he ran a nice third at this distance and level in first try for the new conections. Has enough speed to stay within range and blow by them late.

(# 7) Explosive Count - Claimed three back by Dave Jacobson for $20K. He has already dropped him to $10K for his last. Pressed a fast pace and tired a bit late. Outside of the other speed, he has that advantage.

(# 6) Golden Blaise - No chance in return when he was bumped soundly at the start. That was first in two months. Today is the lowest he has ever run.

(# 2) Fighting Roy Kelly - Speed from the inside. Will be sent hard in second off a three-month layoff. His speed is dangerous, but he has always run his best races at Aqueduct.
