Spiral Analysis and Selections
The road to the Derby continues on Saturday with the running of the Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati Spiral at Turfway Park. We are being treated to a competitive field of 12 going 1 1/8 mile over the all-weather. This will be the first time many of these horses stretch out to the distance, so keep that in mind when making your wagers. I had a tough time picking the winner as I would not be surprised to see a couple of them in the winner's circle.

If he goes out to dictate the early pace, this race may be over early. Dare we have a 'Royal' in pursuit of the crown? |

Blown out by Khozan in that February 22nd optional claimer at Gulfstream. Not expecting much noise from him here. |

Love the name, but I think he will be back on the turf after this race. He appears to be fishin' in the dark here. |

Huge fan of Geroux, who is a jockey on the rise. This colt is going for 4 in a row but against much tougher. Gimmicks?? |

Came flying over the turf last time out but the weak showing in the LeComte two back is cause for concern. Going to pass. |

He's slowly improving, nothing flashy, just moving in the right direction. Could he shock us all with a big race? Absolutely! |

Colt didn't take to the surface in his last start, expecting an encore performance today. Going to pass this go around. |

I got burned by him in the El Camino. He needs to be stalking, but may once again find himself on the lead thanks to the speed setup in this race. |

I'm throwing out that last performance. He had too many issues to overcome. Don't expect a win, but a solid effort. |

No doubt he should be in the mix late, but he is racing tougher this time out. Gonna watch the board to see how to play. |

May get forced into an early duel with Royal Son which will not be ideal for this turfer. Stamina and distance are concerns. |
