He definitely looks like he belongs in this race after the State bred allowance win. I would not take any short odds on him if you are going to play him. He is a closer so pay attention to how the track runs tomorrow.

The issue that comes with Commissioner Chris is that I don't think he is going to have enough pace to run at.

If he can stay a little closer to the leader, I'd say he is a nice play 4-1 to 8-1, but do not think that he is hurt in the race. Just because he won a State Bred Allowance race does not mean he can't run in a claiming race any longer. Persuad put this horse in at 10k not that long ago and he didn't win.

You make the call!
