RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SPEEDY HEALEY (5) has struck a purple patch of winning form and racing with great zest. Hard to hold out again. WICHITA KANSAS (9) gets a nice trailing draw and is racing well and expect another solid showing. BONA KHAN (1) speedy type with the perfect draw and might give a big sight here. A big improver from the draw. MIDNIGHT MOJO (8) going well and drawn to get a soft trip and can strike late. Can threaten. VERY TEMPTING (2) led last start for a narrow win and has place and first four claims along with MONSIEUR FLAMEL (10) BEST BACK BRUCE (7) and CAPITALISM (6). EARLY SPEED: 1,2 RATINGS: 5/ 9/ 1/ 8/ 2/ 10/ 7/ 6
