Boss' Deed (2) is quietly interesting at 6/1 with a TrackWiz rating of 65.83, ranking second in the field. Trainer Troy Newton sends him out with Walter Rodriguez in the irons, a workmanlike combo that could easily outrun the morning line. For exotics purposes, he's a natural place and exacta inclusion.

Grande Sorpreso (8) draws Ian Wilkes as his trainer — a Hall of Fame conditioner who knows how to have horses ready first out. The 63.2 rating is the third-best in the field, and Mitchell Murrill is a capable pilot. At 5/2 he's likely to be underlaid at the windows, but in exotics he's a safe show anchor.

Sorbetto (9) holds the second-best TrackWiz rating at 66.94 and posts the highest average speed figure in the field at 55. Brian Waltz trains him with Rodney Prescott up, and the 4/1 morning line makes him the betting public's choice. He's a logical place horse if Start Out gets the job done, and a win threat in his own right if the pace sets up perfectly.

Sinatra (4) rates third in the field at 56.11 with a 54 average speed figure, and trainer Ed Moger Jr. has had success pointing horses at this level. Summer Pauly gets the call and the 7/2 morning line suggests the market respects him — he's a natural show inclusion to round out your exotics.

Perfect Audible (8) rates second in the field at 75.54 and the Asmussen barn — Steven M. Asmussen training Keith J. Asmussen riding — is a family combo that tends to have horses sharp. An 18% career win rate is respectable at this level, and the 2/1 morning line reflects public confidence. He's a natural top-two finisher and a must-use in exactas.

McFasty (3) is a sneaky show play here at 9/2 — his 56.4 TrackWiz rating ranks third in the field and trainer Carlos Santamaria sends Gabriel Saez up, a good pairing. An 11% career win rate understates his ability to hit the board. At a price, he rounds out the trifecta nicely.
