Not that it matters much, but why is Lava Man highweight?
Shouldn't there be a "statute of limitations" on a horse's race record? In addition, with him being off for so long and O'Neill's caveat that he's "a little rusty", why didn't they run this horse in a claimer as an ineligible to be claimed entrant? He's certainly no stranger to the claiming ranks.

I too don't understand why Lava Man is high weight.....even if it weren't for the layoff, he's on a multiple race losing streak, including a restricted Cal Bred stakes.

Firstly, isn't Lava Man several years removed from top form, too? Then, strictly on paper, you have a 6-horse field in a Grade 3 race. 3 of the 6 are previous Grade 1 winners (with another a Grade 2 winner). Tres Borrachos, Mast Track, and Square Eddie are all graded stakes placed this year. That being said, the horse with the least paper accomplisment among the main track horses, Neko Bay, has a huge shot in here. With just a little insurance from Mast Track or Square Eddie to keep Tres Borrachos from controlling the race, he should get it done. That is, of course, unless Smith decides to pull another Desormeaux impersonation like he did in the BC Dirt Mile.

That judgement is still up in the air IMO.
He's hit the exacta in 9 of 11, and has only given up the lead in one start. In that race Monzante ran out of his skin, and Smith moved prematurely. He did win his comeback well enough this year.
