4 Au Paradis is a lightly raced Shug McGaughey trainee who comes here off a gutsy Maiden-breaking win on the dirt at Delaware Park. This 200K purchase breeding suggests he'll love this marathon distance. He didn't get the best of rides in his two attempts on the turf at Tampa, but he still ran respectably. I believe this Colt will relish the added distance. Live Longshot
3 Harry Hood has run two back-to-back races where he's finished 8th and 9th. If this gelding can run back to his Grade 2 Pan-American Stakes form, where he finished second by just a nostril, he can be a player here. Win Contender
2 Vesting is your likely favorite after breaking his maiden at this distance at the Big A last out. He gets the services of Flavien Prat, who has been a dominant turf jockey here at the Spa. Win Contender
7 Castle Chaos gets some much-needed class relief and cuts back to seven furlongs. The gelding was last seen finishing 3rd in the Grade 1 Metropolitan, where he faced much tougher. He should get an ideal stalking trip and run down the front runners in the stretch drive. Top Pick
6 Sheriff Bianco has back races that can win here. I love the jockey switch to Jose Ortiz. Ortiz has ridden this Gelding multiple times. This 6-year-old has posted a 9/139 bullet. Live Longshot
8 Three Technique is a closer in a race full of want the lead types. Don't Ignore
3 Intrepid Daydream hasn't seen the starting gate in over 6 months, but the work tab under Saffie Joesoph Jr looks tight for this gal's return. This Mare has faced much tougher competition in her last two starts. She's a five-time winner at this distance in 9 starts. Top Pick
6 Ms Bucchero enters here in fine form, winning her last two of three starts. Filly has run well at multiple venues and sports a tremendous early foot. She has been working exceptionally in the morning, highlighted by back-to-back bullets. Win Contender
8 Pacific Rose made her Monmouth Park debut a winning one when defeating weaker a month ago. Don't Ignore
7 Grand Slam Smile has never finished worse than second while sporting five trips to the winner's circle in 7 career starts. Filly comes out of an over 4-length victory in local Stakes for Cal-Breds. Win Contender
9 Pushiness returned from a nine-month layoff to run a good second as the beaten favorite. Filly should be much more fit today. Win Contender
8 Stop Digging was a nose victor last out while taking on winners for the first time. Filly has run mainly on the turf but debuted on the dirt here, where she ran second by a neck. She's a whopping 15-1 on the morning line. Do not leave this one off your tickets. Live Longshot
