Coast-to-coast

Perform...Conservative connections elected to put up $150K to go here. BIG effort in the Tesio warrants the try and perhaps bodes well for an improving runner.
Mage...Likely to run well and certainly a win by this guy would provide a fun three weeks of potential Triple Crown conversation.
National Treasure... Working well in SoCal for Baffert.
First Mission...G3 Lexington winner comes in off of a sharp bullet work.
Red Route One...Have to have in the mix somehow so we're not kicking ourselves when he runs late.
