This guy comes in from the Kentucky racing circuit. He holds the second highest speed number at the distance. A son of Birdonthewire, he will be running late into a swift pace.

A son of City Zip, he has the potential to wire this field.

#8 Tizzarunner (Fuentas / McCarthy) should contend with a couple of decent last out speed number at a much longer route and two well measured workouts. This lad is 66% in the money at the distance and is one point off of the group with the highest speed number at same. A son of Tizway, he should be tracking and closing smoothly.
#6 Souter [GB] (N. Arroyo / Glatt) should be in the mix from the start with the second highest last out speed number and three sound workouts. This lad is 73% in the money from fifteen career starts. A son of Poet's Voice [GB], he loves the Del Mar course.
10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)
