** Best Bet Coal Shaft had a very eventful debut DEC 10 when she was caught wide throughout the race and she still closed stoutly, making up 5 lengths late. Daughter of Claremont comes into this off two sharp workouts, switches from turf to dirt and is adding blinkers. Should be more tactical here.
* Best Value Twelfth Labour has been claimed 5 times since June 13th and now the gelding is in Michelle Nevin’s barn which is one of the hottest barns at this meet. Nevin enters the son of Quality Road in a reasonable spot and stretches out to a winning distance.
Record to Date: 21-for-67 Dollars Returned (per $2 wager): $120.00
