Generally, I bet against two front runners going around on the lead together to produce an exacta. Yeh, It happens from time to time and when it does I tear up my tickets.
I'm getting a picture of
Early Voting &
Morello running off from the rest. There would seem to be some other early speed but I wonder if they can hang with the top two?
TAP may have entered
Long Term just to encourage suicidal early splits to set up Mo Donegal.
I like one or both SkippyLongStocking and Barese to make solid late moves depending on how well their riders judge the pace. I consider both boys competent with a slight nod to Dylan off his recent form.
The line maker and apparently the betting public seems to think it is a simple contest with three deserving favorites and Voila. I suppose I overestimate the other contenders seeing only positive moves from the pricey contenders.
Too further complicate with so many Turf and sprint races before the 8th & Wood Memorial I don't have a sense of how the track is playing tiring? Inside speed bias etc?
Oh well a simple stab here for me, a straight Morello over Barese.
Good Luck!
