#1 SEEKING MAGIC (ML=7/2)
SEEKING MAGIC - This is a classic 'Lone Front-runner' scenario. If Reynolds gets him out of the gate cleanly it'll likely be smooth sailing. Ran in the last race against a better field at Charles Town. The move to a lower class rank should suit him well. Has the inside track on the bullring coming out of the 1 post. Could corner the sharp turns and go wire to wire. This gelding is in superb form right now. Ran third last out and comes back soon.
Vulnerable Contenders: #5 T SITA (ML=5/2), #2 ALEX A FORTIORI (ML=3/1), #8 SIGNATURE RUN (ML=4/1),
T SITA - Hasn't been on the Charles Town oval in the last two to three weeks. Cause for some concern. ALEX A FORTIORI - This horse likes to be in the money, but doesn't usually win. Don't play in the top spot. SIGNATURE RUN - Tough for this closer horse to get up today. Without a hot pace to stir things up, the lone early speed is going to make it awfully hard to get the job done.
