5 FUMANO’S MAGIC 5-1
1 HOWIE’S LAW 4-5
4 LETMEIN 8-1
6 HERE’S SOME MORE 12-1

​

PICK:  5 FUMANO’S MAGIC
He’s run well enough at this level to compete with this group. The obvious question is if anyone will be able to put pressure on the rail runner or if that one will go all the way unchallenged. This colt hasn’t had great breaks from the gate lately. He has had significant run in late stages. Cutback may be ideal. He does need pace help.

​

VALUE: 4 LETMEIN    
Really got going late last time out. While no match for the top two, he was flying by the rest of the field. Like the top choice, he comes from off the pace and needs help with pressure on the favorite from the inside. Has been ablet to run up and track the speed in some of his starts last year. He’s 3 for 5 in the money here at Del Mar.

A) 1,5        B) 2,3,4,6        C)       D)
