#3 Catalina Cruiser (Rosario / Sadler) will challenge coming off an extended layoff. He holds the highest overall speed number and has put in four endurance peaking workouts. This guy should be part of the pace scenario on the front end. A son of Union Rags, He has four wins from five career starts.
