Race 5

Spot Play

SILVER MORGAN (#2, 7-2) was out of his element on the turf last time but he should be expected to improve today back on the main track; the fact that he's inside and also has some speed adds to the appeal. -Kenny Peck

STEPHEN A (#1, 4-1): Finished early in latest over Keeneland’s synthetic surface, which may serve to mask improvement shown on fast and wet dirt earlier this year; has run well both times when drawn on the rail.- Dave Litfin

Vulnerable Favorite

JOKING (#5, 2-1) will likely be the favorite off last race figure which is many lengths faster than the others; but he’s cutting back a half furlong and will try to close into what could be a slow paced affair. Chuck Kuehhas
