Exalted Fire should find the front with Burning Bright and Shisuta Bo on his heels. PETA'S HEART (4) is an improving mare that looks to have found the perfect race to make it back-to-back wins. She's fit and has no weight after the claim. The wide barrier is some concern but she's got tactical speed and can roll forward. She looks the top seed. EXALTED FIRE (1) rarely runs poorly in these types of races and he's a horse that you'd love to go to war with. He's got good gate speed and can give them something to catch. LAKE'S FOLLY (2) is better than what he showed last start and, if he can repeat his prior runs, he can be in the finish. RABTAT (13) has been a quirky horse but his form this preparation is much more consistent. He's one to consider for exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Peta's Heart to win.
