|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo with the speedy Major Major leading the way. PRIVY GARDEN (16) has been racing well enough this time in. She is a win chance here drawn well without any doubt. The filly can handle dry and wet ground too. THE PROPHET (10) he is proven fresh up. Can handle dry and wet ground so no excuses here. Quinella and trifecta must for bettors. LANIKAI (8) has a wide draw in this. Has won on dry and wet ground so the footing posted is not an issue. Trifecta and first four chance. PRIDE OF ASPEN (2) was a good run fresh up. Course proven. Has won second up. Chance here for all of your combinations. THE SCUNNER (4) he has kept improving this time in. Well drawn. Impossible to omit from anywhere. SUGGESTED PLAY: Privy Garden and The Prophet are win wagers.
