Race 4:
High Promise (#5)
Has shown ability on a number of occasions but seems to only run in spots in his races.

8-1 on ML
Race 6:
Major Force (#4)
Has shown the ability to overcome slow paces in his races, which he may need to do again here.
The slight cutback to six furlongs should intensify his late kick, as he put in an impressive closing fraction two back.
