Indian Counselor won here in February and was staying on late on Dirt last time. Digital Footprint has had a break but had been keeping good company at Aqueduct previously and Cable Channel is another who takes a slight drop in class. Blameless has also had a holiday while Bourbon Currency keeps finding one too good, though appeared to handle the big step up in trip last month. Bad Beat Brian is the only three-year-old in the line-up but has a squeak, though we’d rather take a chance on MOTATAABEQ. Michael Pino’s gelding has begun to fulfil his potential since arriving here and has been working well since last seen at the beginning of March.
