(# 9) BERTRAND AT MR. A'S - He proved in last that he can handle this "newish" surface. Hollendorfer runner has enough speed to stay close and bid to victory. There's enough pace on view so that an up-close journey may be the key to victory.

(# 1) Catch A Thief - Drops in class and stretches-out off a sprint comeback. No doubt will try for the top and gets blinkers on to aid in the theft attempt.

(# 5) Live Free - Best try was two back at a similar level and distance. Last was his best from a figure stand-point.

(#'s 6 and 8) Mandate to Fly and Fallen Leaf - I would use these runners in the bottom of exactas and in the "underneath, position in tri's and supers if you go in that direction.
