RACE THREE
FRANCO HAMPTON (8) does his best work when setting the speed out in front and while not receiving that opportunity from this alley, should be camped right on the speed and be ready to strike. First out and first home last start when never headed, if he settles in the trail, he can take the snipers shot.
PARAVANI (1) started from this gate 2 starts back when handing over at the bell before taking the closing shot to get withing a whisker of the winner BLACKSADANCE. Holding on for the bronze at his next appearance after working hard in the run, he has the early speed to keep them wide and can be gripping on.
PACIFIC DRUMS (6) tried to take them all the way last start over the mile when firing out from the three-hole when a head shy of victory as the progressive L L COOL J arrived. A brilliant beginner, he will be throwing some early heat.
ALE ALE KAI (9) has been going well without a great deal of luck in recent starts. This will be tougher than recent starts, but that can be offset by darting back to the poles with the inside a good place to be in this contest.
