Runner Comments
1 El Chato Won once this prep at Gulfstream five runs back. Has plenty of early speed and a likely leader. Up in journey. Appears tested.
2 Because The Night Ran four lengths back from the winner last start at Gulfstream. Has genuine early speed and should run fitter for past attempts. Ideally suited.
3 Old Flag Won once this prep at Gulfstream four runs back. Capable of racing on speed. Knockout hope.
4 Silent And Violent Winner at Gulfstream and placed three times this prep. Has plenty of early speed and a likely leader. Miguel Vasquez and Jose D Angelo are a proven combination. Sneaky chance.
5 Poliglota Having first start for a new trainer. Has plenty of early speed and a likely leader. Has won here before. Must be considered.
6 Live High Live Low Back from let-up. Won last start to break maiden at Gulfstream. Capable of racing on speed. Right in this.
7 Speed Control Amongst the placegetters last start running third at Gulfstream and should run fitter for past attempts. Among the main chances.
8 Ice The Kicker Has two wins from five attempts this campaign and last start winner at Gulfstream. Has a lot of early speed. Place only.
