:pBEST BETS: EL FENOMENO 1st (Turf) and STOCK TRADE 4th (Turf):cool:

EL FENOMENO (LS) showed improved speed when dropped in for a tag for second start. He's out of a Rahy mare that's been a very good producer on turf and he could move up on the surface switch. He also has a shot on dirt and he has room to keep improving but I'd prefer turf.

STOCK TRADE (PP) ran well at Gulfstream in last, has trained well for this spot for Mott, who drops this turf bred colt down to the softest spot he's seen since he broke his maiden over this course last spring, which was also his first start up from Gulfstream.
