In this marathon, there appears to be only one horse who will go to the lead and set all the fractions and that is Ghetto. He is coming off going wire to wire in a 1 & 1/4 mile optional claiming allowance race on the turf. He put in a nice work here on 7/27 going 59.6 as the 4th best of 73 that day on the polytrack. He drops 10 pounds from his last win here. While others in here may have more credentials, think this 4 year old colt really has a good opportunity to steal this race at a nice price. Talamo stays with him.

#1 Ghetto (Win & Place)
#1 Ghetto/All (Exacta Wheel)
#1 Ghetto/All/All (Trifecta)

Good luck everyone!
