Porto Santo is a half to Gorella. This horse seems to have the same closing kick.

I like Porto Santo a lot in this race, appears to be a great closer and will have plenty of speed to close into... trainer does well with this type of horse as well as 2nd off the lay-off... should get a nice price since you know the money is going to be on AP Warrior and Arson Squad. I also think that Get Funky gets up into the money - looking at his form cycle, it appears that he was prepping specifically for this race.

I recall also that Porto had some trouble last time out in the Oceanside as the fave...

6/5 odds on the Porto horse...Too low for me,but would be a nice check for Arroyo.
