(# 1) COSTA RISING - No doubt he shakes loose early, slows the pace down in field lacking much speed. Draws rail and gets a huge rider change to the red hot Albarado.

(# 2) Tortuga Straits - Top trainer used sprint last out off the layoff for this stretch out. One-for-one at the FG. Tactical speed and good post to give top pick a run for the money.

(# 5) Southern Invasion - Second to "Coasta Rising" in last switching back to dirt. Should sit a good stalking trip but the added distance could pose a problem late.
