No. 6 Amatteroftime (5-1) exits a clear runner-up finish in a stakes route in the mud at Delaware Park. He likes this course and distance and should make his presence felt in the lane.
No. 7 Far Mo Power (3-1) crossed the line first in six of his last nine starts. He figures to stalk the pace and must be respected in his current form.
No. 8 Thomas Shelby (4-1) easily went all the way in a dirt route at Monmouth Park for his new trainer David Jacobson last time. He enjoys this distance and should be in the thick of things from the outset.
No. 9 Ridin With Biden (5-2) got an easy lead and gamely held firm in a local graded marathon stakes affair last month. He probably will not be able to control the pace this time and might end up stalking wide from the outside post.
No. 2 Senior Investment (10-1) might be worth using underneath at square odds. The versatile veteran hit the board in three of four starts this year and should get pace to chase.
