I am not a big fan of picking Woodbine horses in a US stakes race, but Spice Route is different. Spice Route had won 2 graded stakes races since coming to North America last June and both were in the state. He ran well in Woodbine last summer but he failed to win a stakes race in 3 tries. Spice Route is a closer and I am expecting a strong pace set by Lauro and Presious Passion. Trainer Roger Attifield had been targeting this race since his 2nd place in the Louisville Handicap back in May 23. The horse had been training well in the morning and I expect a big effort from Spice Route tomorrow at odds of 4-1.
Court Vision is my second choice in the race. Court Vision is one of the sucker horse that I seem to bet on every race but I never win a penny. I really like him in the Manhattan but he was no match to Gio Ponti and finished 4th. This is a much easier spot than the Manhattan and switching back to Gomez is a positive. Just like a few others in here, the distance is a big question mark. It will be the first time he travels beyond 1 1/4m and his best distance maybe at 1 1/8m.
Another closer Banrock is my third choice in the race. It is very unusual for a horse to ran a career beyers at age 6 but that what Banrock did in his last start. He had put together 2 good races and he will more up if the turf is a coming up soft.
My longshot of the race is Wesly. He finished a disappointed 8th in the Manhattan, I thought he would fair better. His beyers is low compare to the contenders and he had never won a race beyond 1 1/8m. Training Henning is very hot at Monmouth, hit the board at almost 50%. At odds of 10-1, I will take a chance on Wesly.
