Should be a strong tempo with plenty of speed engaged. CALIFORNIA GOLD (1) he has been racing super for a while. On pacer. Looks the one to beat here especially after the all the scratchings. THE IMMIGRANT (2) has been much improved in his last three runs. Quinella and trifecta chance in this field for sure now the field has been greatly reduced due to scratchings. WARLAC (7) has been course placed before. Has paid a dividend third up as well. Chance here in this line up no doubt. ON THE RIVET (9) is a partial class riser in this event. Consistent of late. Impossible to omit from any of your multiples to place or be first four. MATETSI (11) has run well in three of last five starts. Riding change. Wet tracker. SUGGESTED PLAY: California Gold is a win wager.
