Criticism...Don't see much else in here to challenge her early.
Backseat Rhythm...Tossed in a little bit of a clunker last time -- but had some trouble. Expect a rebound.
Mushka...Took to the synthetic surface at KEE last time -- but has some OK turf form and can be part of the action here.
Colina Verde.

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

Joey P...G3 Toboggan dud raises some questions -- but working well, likes this track and faces state-breds, should be enough to provide a place to rebound.
Unwritten...Good second in opening day stake after setting the pace. Should benefit from that effort.
Who's the Cowboy...Second in this race last year -- and that was off the bench. Has a start -- and a bullet work -- under his belt this season.
Luna Park.

Wager: $5 W on Joey P.
...$5 exacta box top two.
...$1 tri key Joey P over next three.
...$1 tri key Unwritten over other three.

Fearless Eagle...Looks best in here off of some solid races in Florida this year. Must overcome post however.

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

Spice Route...Last seems to indicate he's in career form.
Thabazimbi...Could be interesting. Won last but Beyer fig will need to step it up here -- but suspect we haven't seen his best.
Brass Hat...8YO is approaching $2mil in earnings -- but grass isn't really his game. Fourth in this race last year as the 2-1 fave.
Always First.

Indescribable...Has shown a liking for synthetics -- including a win in this race last year.

Serenading...Typically part of the action.
Gloria Goodbody.

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

Golden Mexico...Undefeated in two starts. Gets tested here but could be the real deal.
El Crespo...Back on turf.
Giant Oak...Never quite lived up to 2YO promise while on the Derby Trail this year -- but did finish just behind the talented Musket Man last time. Back to grass and often these types wind up having a class edge on the dedicated turfers.
Southern Anthem.

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

Zenyatta...Champ simply looks best in here.

Wager: $5 exacta Zenyatta over Life Is Sweet, sub Dawn after Dawn underneath if scratch.
