RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: TOO THE MAX (2) is a consistent horse who has finished in the top three at his past five starts. He is always hitting the line well and should find a forward position from barrier two. BLACKINDEED (7) is a smart mare who races best when in front. She is unlikely to find that position here, but she has a good sprint and should be right in the finish. SHIRALEE (1) was a good winner last start after sustaining a long three-wide run and gets a much better trip here from barrier one. CARUSO STAR (4) will need luck, but he is racing well enough to be very competitive.
