Placed twice at Arlington last year, Charliecando has been gelded since last racing in October and should be a factor in a race like this. Nobodyknowsnothin also has plenty of experience but has been hard to train and has had another break since failing to figure here on Boxing Day. Arba has already run 12 times but The Connector is an interesting newcomer having been a quarter-million dollar yearling. MY ECLAIR led over track and trip in January until overwhelmed by Summer Assault. They came home at wide intervals that day so the form was probably decent and Michael Stidham’s gelding can be forgiven a subsequent run over a mile.
