I looked at the race and it's a very nice one for
$40k. Seems the question is what to do with Nkosi Reigns. Ok 2nd in this race last year, but just a 4-horse field there. And he's obviously off-form going into this today.... not the case last year. And he's won going 2-turns only at Hawthorne. I also don't care for the other Illinois breds in here, Wantedtobeagray, Air Academy, High Expectations. All nice but they all get second-flight trips here and doubtful any of them can pass three or four others to win.

That leaves the inside three and I'll take 2 It's No Joke at 4-1+ to win this race and play him over the 1 and 3. Chalky, but looks solid to me and if Nkosi takes some betting action, looks even better.

Yea,no matter what I would try there,they will do something else.High Expectations is in love with the track,and(unlike N REINS)would seem to be able to go 9f(atleast sometime in his career he has handled it.)Probably the results will be pretty close to what S TO STUD wrote.

H EXPECTATIONS,AND AMERICAN MAN are scratches.Now it is a tough race to pick that pays nothing.Like 80% of the races there.
