Spot PlayCURLIN'S GEM (#6, 12-1) has a decent work tab, and he figures to be overlooked a bit in the wagering here; might be the right value play if he's able to run to those swift breezes. -Kenny Peck
Vulnerable FavoriteA TOUCH OF POETRY (#5, 3-1) will take action coming off a runner-up finish and making his second start off a layoff, but others appear as talented, if not more so, than him.– Byron King

Honey Fox Stakes by Marty McGeeWow, doesn’t this one have a ton of interesting variables? Is Centre Court (#6) ready, and is she still a Grade 1-caliber mare? Isn’t Tapicat (#7) in peak form, having run very creditably in a SoCal Grade 2 after leaving out of SoFla with a stakes win over the GP turf? Isn’t Triple Charm (#2) primed for a peak effort in her third start following a layoff? And is Parranda (#5) good enough to handle what amounts to another big class raise? Having the right answers to these questions could be rewarding indeed. The guess from this corner is that Centre Court will indeed come back firing fresh – Rusty told me about a month ago that if the mare “has one misstep” that she will be retired – and that Parranda will not be good enough to withstand all the opposing speed after getting away on ridiculously easy fractions in her last two triumphs. Let’s keep the play simple for this one by taking big exactas of 6-2 and 6-7; smaller increments reversing those (2-6, 7-6); a small saver box of 2-7; and, realistically, any expanded greed-up variations (i.e., tri and super) using those primary numbers.
