(# 3) MERITSNDEMERITS - Claimed two back by sharp Art Sherman outfit. Gelding made first start for new connections at double the price he was haltered. Pressed an extremely fast pace from outside slot and paid the price late. Drops to price he was claimed for, blinkers go on, and gets a more comfortable post. Has a near bullet drill, presumably with the hood on and all systems look like a go.

The Plays: $15 to win and place on #3.
Total wager = $30.00.
