#2 Provenance *****
Pro: Second-out maiden winner is a son of Into Mischief and dual champion Monomoy Girl.

TwinSpires
#4 Blacksmith **
Pro: Flopped second out as odds-on choice but probably a bit better than that.

TwinSpires
#5 American King *
Pro: Made considerable improvement stretching out, albeit on the grass.
Con: Twice-unplaced maiden looks out of his depth in this spot.
TwinSpires
#6 Captivator **
Pro: Won for fun second out against maiden optional claimers; deserving of class test.
Con: Although sire won at 9 furlongs, other members of the immediate family were sprint oriented.
