I love the #12 Kim K in the 4th there today.

That 4th race is tricky. Kim K’s works look great and she has the look of a very good horse but the biggest question is whether she’ll like running on turf. Throw in Miller and Prat and there is a lot to like. I think she’ll benefit from the outside post. Will Take Charge doesn’t seem to have a strong turf record for progeny but many sons of Unbridled’s Song have turned out to be good turf sires. All that aside, it’s hard to look past the ML favorite #8 - Candura.
As far as longshots, I’d probably lean #9 Superhotamolly. February baby, good turf sire, bullet workout July 31. Dam had some sprint success but never showed it on the turf, including breaking her maiden in January of her 3YO year in a MSW race despite the jockey losing the whip. Not crazy about Franco or Kruljac but if I get above 10-1 odds then I’ll throw a few dollars on her.
Anyway, don’t want to hijack Gus’s thread. Thanks for the picks, Gus, and good luck all!
