Vulnerable Favorites

DYKER BEACH (3-1) is not the ML favorite but he's a close 2nd choice despite the fact that he's 0-for-11 and his latest Beyer was subpar; lack of positional speed also works against him, as this race lacks a clear-cut pace scenario.-Kenny Peck

Race 8

Spot Play

KNIGHTS NATION (#5, 5-1) ran big in his first "marathon" try in that last one; he not only fits well on the strength of that effort and figure but he also may hold a tactical edge here, as this race is comprised mainly of stone closers.-Kenny Peck

Race 9

Spot Play

AMIE’S DINI Look carefully & you’ll find excuses for all three losses this form cycle. She’s a one-time stakes horse with a Churchill win who could get a good trip. Don’t trust 1st or 2nd choices at all.-Marcus Hersh
