In the first, I'm looking at #2 Royal Rossi. I realize picking the 7-2 tepid ML favorite isn't exactly going out on a limb, but I think his last was a bit better than it appeared. Don't expect him to get bet heavily due to the 6th place finish. He sat way back in a strung out field, and closed well enough to catch my eye, while still finishing an unimposing 6th. Losing the blinkers, and adding an extra 1/16th of a mile today.
