(# 10) SALTY KARAKORUM - Showed speed in a longer event when Lasix was added last out. Faced some inside pressure in that try, and moves farthest out today and cuts back to a sprint. Trainer Odintz also adds blinkers for this and his best effort should follow.

(# 5) Midtown South - Very wide in a pretty fair try in last. Comes back quickly and this grass-sprinting game seems to agree with him. The horse the top pick must fear.

(# 6) Can't Refuse - Huge effort in last at 43-1, finishing a good third to a runaway winner. Can he repeat it? Well it represented his third positive figure move in a row, so maybe he's just getting better.

(#'s 2 and 3) Brian's Cat Can Do, and Sense of spe - Either runner could run well enough in this balanced field to get into the exacta bottoms.
