11 Sweet Adeline(L) 122 Davis 3-4-4 Fennessy 10-1

Blue Sixty Four is riding an improving line on the numbers and drops; weakness of field is selection's strength. Sweet Adeline was an even third when favored in last; dangerous. City Vice has finished second in last two outings; must consider. Mojito Mint will benefit from cutback to 6 furlongs.
