Maiden Special Weight

Stake: $104,109

RIO GRANDE (3) finished fifth on debut two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BLACKSMITH (5) is on debut for the Bob Baffert stable. Two-year-old colt by Liam's Map from Sweet Achiever. Bold showing expected. Watch betting. ACKNOWLEDGEMEPLZ (1) has not raced since he finished second on debut over 1006m at this track on June 13. Has solid credentials. POSTMODERN (2) is appearing for the first time. By Charlatan and comes from the Mark Glatt stable. Top-three chance.
