A lighter field, supposedly, won't be a breather as there is oodles of speed on tap in here with the all possessing front runner tendencies and sharpness from the gate. That should open it up for someone to come off the pace with Sam's Sister being the one to beat and could well encounter traffic problems.
I'll look for the Living The Life and/or the Harlington's Rose to get the job done today, and maybe even keep Sam's Sister out of the Exacta along with the Wasted Talent.

Welp, we got the
to finish 3rd, but I certainly couldn't see the
winning this thing in gate to wire fashion at a bomb of a price at 43/1.
A near $90 winner and a $560 Exacta. I guess you can't be immune to the "All" button sometimes.
