        Verdict

        This looks a competitive dash with several having some sort of chance. Purple Monster has only had three runs and may well be capable of better. Philosophy won in a similar grade at Gulfstream Park in February and Scarlet City has reportedly been working well here since his last run at Hawthorne in December. But MIDNIGHT BLUE NOTE almost took advantage of a big drop in grade here last time in a race that’s worked out well. Anthony Granitz’s gelding probably boasts the best form on offer, though February winner Kholstomer certainly should be left out of calculations as he represents a yard that chooses its targets here carefully. I’m Cardinal and Notacatbutacard also warrant a second look.
