(# 3) COPING - Another from the Cody Autry barn. Claimed last out at Keeneland, he has a good record over this surface(6-2-1-2) Trainer is a snappy 25% with his new acquisitions.

(# 2) Virginia Pride - Veteran continues to run well at age nine. Has some tactical speed and shouldn't be too far back around the far turn. Has a good chance at the win.

(# 4) No Surgeon - Late runner from Steve Asmussen is at the mercy of the pace in here. Would like it fast/contested.

(# 10) Stormin Eddie - Has performed best on the grass during his career. Has a win on dirt at Tampa, and his speed makes him dangerous. Needs to break running from this post.

(# 1) Skin Flint - The speed nearest the rail, he can fire a big race when in the mood. Last several are very poor, so he needs to rebound.
