#12 Ete Indien is going to be my top choice this race after a great effort in the Fountain of Youth. Horse drew wide again here, but it didn’t seem to be an issue last time out so I think his speed will get him into the top flight of runners with ease. #1 As Seen on TV is my long shot pick in here with Paco aboard you know he is sending and if #12 Ete Indien runs into some traffic trouble, will be the speed of the speed. Also has a monster TG fig that cannot be ignored. #7 Tiz the Law is the M/L favorite here, but I’m going to look elsewhere in the win spot as I think he is a big bounce candidate. If the pace gets hot, he should sit a good trip, but I’d be more inclined to use #9 Independence Hall or #5 Gouverneur Morris as my off the pace winner. #2 Shivaree is a must use in vertical plays and could get a piece of the trifecta at a nice price coming from off the pace.
