Forecasts

De Vegas Kid (7/2), Spanish Mane (4/1), Granary Queen (4/1), Hector Loza (5/1), Amathus (7/1), Madrinho (9/1), State Secretary (10/1), Big Bard (10/1)

A finale in which it might be worth taking a chance on STATE SECRETARY who has had excuses on his last 2 starts and has been given a chance by the handicapper. Spanish Mane, Granary Queen and Madrinho all know where the winning post is over this C&D and merit respect in an open race.
