Ruffino is going to be the chalk, and there are many reasons to go against him in this spot.

NY Bred going against open company for the first time - always a good angle to play against

Second time out after a lengthy lay off - He's obviously got some physical issues with the limited number of starts as a 6yo and the two big gaps in starts. His second start back after the June 07-Sept 08 layoff was by far the worst effort of his career

He's going to be 7/5 or lower in this spot.

Budget - Carl Domino doesn't claim many horses, but he got this Clairborne homebred at a discount up at the SPA. Ran OK in his last, gets the rail and cuts back to a 1 turn mile. Faces older horses for the first time.

Woodacre - Been claimed 2 of last 3 starts. Never gone further than 6.5 furlongs in his career. Callejas has decent numbers second race off the claim, Johnny V rides.. maybe

Banking Holiday - His last was OK at the same level. First time blinkers. Ramon riding is a plus but I'm not sold on his chances.

Mr. Universe - Looks overmatched in this spot. Blinkers off

Nemo Landing - Looks overmatched in this spot. Blinkers off

Dream Again - Ran a decent thrid last time out at the same level. Been closing strongly going 7f and adds another 1/8 mile here. These types usually dissapoint as underlays. Not backing.

Bird Run - Broke maiden in a big way back in July and then ran a nice second to the huge favorite last time out in a NW1 allowance. First time against older horses and while cutting back 1f.

This should have been Race 3, not race 5. I changed the header.

Changes after the Changes-

Dream Again has two front aluminum pads again. Auto Toss.

Birdrun - +1 overweight. Kent can't make 116 these days??? The likely selection, but I want at least 3-1.

I don't think Nemo Landing is a bad play at 20-1, fast track today and might get clear here
