Kelli Martinez is the leading trainer here and his runners are always to be respected, especially when Armando Martinez rides. Talk Big Money has already placed twice here this month and will be hoping to make it third-time lucky but the best recent form has probably been shown by DRASTIC, who boasts a similar track record. Sean Foley’s gelding is 0-20 but has been getting closer. Prince Olaf has only found one too good the last twice so can’t be ignored.
