Analysis: After two upsets in the qualifiers, I will be looking for value in this field. I see one of the winners of the qualifiers as legitimate and the other as a throw away. I like 1-Rawle I Am Sorry because of his running style and the added distance for today’s race, and I think 2-Milion will not run back to the supremely impressive performance last Monday. But, neither of those two horses are my top pick. I like 3-Pinks Bay Dawn as the most likely winner tonight based on his tactical speed as well as his quick turn of foot. 4-Get There First intrigues me because he was in the mix in Monday’s race, but I will only use this one in deepest of exotics. 5-Bright Nickle is a horse that I do not believe is for real and only give a marginal chance. 6-Canny Fight was beaten more than 7 lengths in the qualifier by Milion. 7-Lady Valentine looks like a price I will be willing to use as ahijah is loaded for this race. 8-Contingency also was way behind in the qualifier. 9-Reds Rules was closing late in the qualifier, so I will use her as well. 10-Doc Again has a solid trainer, but only nosed out the 6th place finisher in the qualifier to get in and ran a 111SR.
