Verdict
This mile race offers a $35,100 purse and draws a competitive group. ELECTRIC MELODY is in strong recent form and should be difficult to beat, while ILLUMINATE is improving rapidly and presents a serious challenge. COMPUTE THIS brings consistent efforts at the distance into the mix, giving backers plenty to consider. S'MOR CRAFTY, overlooked by many, could sneak into the finish with the right run. Expect an early shuffle as these contenders seek tactical spots.
