SPOT PLAYS AND LIVE LONGSHOTS
PERREGAUX (#5, 4-1) lost all chance at the break behind the promising Console last time; competitive with his best, assuming a clean start.- Mike Beer
Absolutely no one has been hotter at the Spa in the last week than Darley and Kiaran, whose recent spate of winners included such nice ones as Sayaad, Almurra, With Sugar On Top, Sky Painter, Parnelli, and Celebrated Talent. First-timer FINGERS CROSSED (#2, 3-1) has a win-very-early pedigree and comes extremely well-prepared with a half-dozen local works and should be able to scoot up the rail following an alert break from this inner post. Team poised to strike once again while that iron is white-hot. – Marty McGee
Monmouth Park shipper GLASS ART (#2, 10-1) has held good form through four starts this year, winning twice and exiting a competitive third-place finish behind Saintly Love, who was notching his sixth straight victory. He has sufficient early speed to take advantage of the inside post on a firmed-up inner course that’s been favorable to front-running types. -Dave Litfin
