4th: MSW, 3+, 10f-IT (P6, P3, DD, Super)

$1.1MM P6 Carryover starts here..

Top pair exit same race and seem to have little seperating them. (Empiricist was further back in that event as well, and then competed in an OTT heat.) Imaging has faced serious foes in FL this winter and figures as the most likely upsetter if the faves fail. Halefellow Wellmet will get play and I won't fault those including him. But I wouldn't trust the ACRC debut fig, and the horse behind him there (Bellhouse) is a chronic case that can't win..

6th: NY-ALW/N1X, 3+, 6f (P4, P3, DD, Super)

With the 7th to follow, this middle pair of races are the most difficult portion of the sequence to negotiate. Several here have efforts on their page that can win this, and there are trainer shifts and other karma moves to consider in this chess match of a sprint. Was Able Bellamy just mudlarking in his April win? How much of a move up can you expect from Prince of Danger going to Fawkes from Tesher and facing Empire breds for the first time? How about the first start at 3 for Our Brave Warrior now with Hushion? Turf to dirt a positive move for Trombetta (Decision Point), and gelding did break his maiden on the strip. Is Jungle Rain an AQI Inner jump up only? Many more issues like these to decipher..
