# HORSE TRAINER JOCKEY COMMENT ODDS
Shackleford D. Romans R. Dominguez Second in Kelso off layoff, yet seems below his terrific early season form 5-2
Emcee K. McLaughlin A. Garcia On better part of track in Forego win; first start at distance and two turns 3-1
Jersey Town B. Tagg J. Castellano Strong score in the Kelso; do wonder if he can pair up big efforts like that 4-1
Fed Biz B. Baffert J. Talamo Disappointed at Hoosier, but is certainly capable of better; a big threat 5-1
Rail Trip R. Ellis J. Valdivia Jr. At this point, this old pro might find this distance right in his wheelhouse 8-1
John Scott C. Gaines V. Espinoza Hits hard, but might be a cut below and it appears he prefers synthetics 10-1
Delegation M. Casse P. Husbands Big fig win last time was due to uncontested lead; this will be his dirt debut 15-1
Tapizar S. Asmussen C. Nakatani Has had some good days at SA, but his last was so poor it's hard to ignore 15-1
Second City B. Cecil M. Gutierrez Main claim to fame is a Derby win at Hastings. Overmatched? Just a little. 30-1
