#6 Riviera Cafe- Fast 4 year old showed her speed in all four of her races. She could not handle the terrible track last Wednesday and finished 5th in a slow time. We can throw that one out as she will do much better on a fast surface. She has the hot riding Theriot in the irons and will be the one to catch.

#2 Saintly Spirit- finished up close in her last three against much tougher but her last run was her best. She missed by only 3 lengths at Keeneland against MSW after being forced wide. She has found a much easier spot and should romp.

#3 Belend- 6 year old just recently began running on the turf. He finished second here beating many of today's rivals on opening week. He has the speed to make the lead and should be a decent price.

#4 Salute the Count- the short priced favorite ran a terrible race here against our top pick with-out any excuse. He will be bet hard again today but looks vulnerable. It is hard for us to take a short price on a 9 year old who has clearly lost a step.

#3 Je Suis Shiekh- 5 year old filly has bullet like speed out of the gate. She opened up a 5 length lead at Keeneland last out against wide open fillies going 6 1/2F and just failed to hang on. She shortens up and runs with non winners of three today, a much easier spot and is the one to beat.

Battagliaspicks 1-4-5

#1 Baryshnikov- is the second horse today that Mott is dropping in class from MSW to MCL 30k. The first one is our top pick in the second race and the same rider is named on both. Mott wins at 33% with his runners that make this drop in class and he adds blinkers to this one. Motts main rider Desormeaux, went back to NY and Hernandez will be trying very hard to keep Mott's business.
