Earth has drawn the inside and has won three times over the track and trip so has to be respected. The faster the ground the better for five-times winner Wave Candy but the veteran OAK BLUFFS, a prolific winner in his day and a regular at a much higher level, had a nice break before finishing fifth behind the prolific Tiger Blood is a better race than this last time. He didn't enjoy the best of starts that day and looks the one to beat. New York's Finest also finished behind Tiger Blood last time but collateral form suggests he's held by the selection. I'm Cardinal, who has won no less than 17 races in his time, has been going well at Tampa and is likely to contest the early fractions.
