BERN LEGACY (#1, 7-2) goes back to the turf, and she has run well enough in all of her previous tries on the grass; that includes the race where she was off the board, beaten 11 lengths, as she was actually moving well in the late stages there. -Kenny Peck

Vulnerable Favorite

THUNDER'S ROLLIN' (#2, 5-2) fits well in terms of Beyers but he has certainly has had his chances, and he blew clear leads on a couple of those occasions; figures to be overbet once again. -Kenny Peck
