Fortune Cookie is a fair performer but was probably flattered by his run behind Home Base here in February. YODEL E. A. WHO (NAP) fell out of the stalls over 6f here last month and couldn’t make up lost ground. Saffie Joseph’s gelding is arguably best over a mile but has the strongest form on offer and it will be a surprise if he doesn’t open his account as a four-year-old in this. Hy Riverside may no longer have the pace to take advantage of his inside draw but he did finish ahead of Glory of Florida and Create Again over course and distance last time.
