(# 2) SEVEN NATION ARMY - Mullins runner already owns a win over this new surface, and that came off a five month layoff. Has raced with much better, and done well in the recent past. Taken to get a repeat win running against a very questionable group.

(# 7) Social Satire - Claimed by Metz from Sise two back, he had a wide journey at this level and over this surface last out. Has some speed, figures are competitive with these, and should run quite well.

(# 3) Swiss Lad - Won for 12.5 two back, then raced against 25K stock next out. Should get a good trip near the top, and if the top pick doesn't bring his best, he would have a shot at the win.

(# 9) Dark Past - Probable speed from the outside, has a fine series of quick works on view. Has run well fresh in the past and at this claiming price.
