Mangione should spear straight to the front of the small field. CONVO (9) hasn't run too many poor races of late, which is what made last start a surprise when dropping in grade, but she deserves another chance. READY BY DESIGN (3) was a big drifter last start but ran an improved race, going under by less than 2 lengths, and he's likely to race in a handy spot, which is a plus here. TRIPLE OH (8) is fitter now and placed in 64 grade at this trip last prep. MANGIONE (5) boasts peaks that measure up and deserves safe keeping. SUGGESTED PLAY: Convo to win.
