Like the Capuano horse,Cherrokee\'s Boy.Not alot of rest as a 2 yr.But broke through his 2yr.top and has rest going into this race.Don\'t think you will get what the morning line says though.

This is a tough race in that you can knock almost every contender.

I think the value is with Fund of Funds and Cherokee Boy.

Alysweep is an obvioius play against given the post, weight and likely pace. TMW, RON, and LSS also will likely be overbet relative to their chances.

Another frequent poster on this board likes LX Commander but I don\'t share his enthusiasm although I do respect his opinion and the horse is fast and likely to be a nice price.

Good luck.
