Octave...Hasn't missed an exacta in eight lifetime starts -- but far more seconds than firsts. Should have an edge against these three however.
Lady Joanne...Looked very good winning a G3 at Churchill last time.
Boca Grande.

Wager: $10 exacta Octave over Lady Joanne.

Corinthian...The loss in the G3 two back would be a concern -- but he had trouble. When trouble-free he's very good.
Political Force...Just behind top pick last time. Likely to be tough again.
Hesanoldsalt.

Wager: $5 W on Corinthian.
...$5 exacta Corinthian over Political Force.
...$5 exacta box top two.
...$1 tri key Corinthian over next two.

Rutherienne...Just seems to be getting better and better. Likely set to be a force in her division.
Sharp Susan...Mott filly was behind top pick last time -- but will contend on best.
Red Birkin...Competitive in all turf starts.
More THan a Feelin.

Wager: $5 WP on Rutherienne.
...$2 exacta box top two.
...$2 tri key Rutherienne over next three.

Remarkable News...Consistent Beyer-wise and looks to be in good form coming out of the G2 Dixie win.
Outperformance...Could be set to pop in third start back.
Tiganello...Won a minor stake at Arlington in latest and has shown some flashes in the past that indicate he can contend here.
Brilliant.

...$2 exacta box top two.
...$1 exacta box top four.
...$1 tri box top four.

The Tin Man...9YO will have to contend with early speed from Lang Field and Willow O Wisp -- but was able to stalk last time and a repeat of that strategy should prove successful.
Becrux...Might benefit from a quick early pace.
Willow O Wisp...Quality speed should be there for at least piece at the end.
Right Special.

Wager: $5 WP on The Tin Man.
...$2 exacta box top two.
...$1 exacta box top four.
...$1 tri box top four.

Elocution...Asmussen has had success shipping fillies west for stakes wins.
Billie Bob...Beat state-breds to break maiden but the effort indicates she should fit here.
Treadmill...Similar to Billie Bob this one beat Cal-breds -- but place-finisher came back to win, flattering this one.
Set Play.

Wager: $5 WP on Elocution.
...$2 exacta box top two.
...$1 exacta box top four.
...$1 tri box top four.

Molengao...Comes into this in career-best form.
Lava Man...We've got him second -- but he's our rooting interest in here. With the retirement of Invasor this guy is "live" for an Eclipse he so richly deserves.
AP Arrow...Needs his best.
AP Xcellent.

Wager: $5 WP on Molengao.
...$2 exacta box top two.
...$1 exacta box top four.
