10 Cantrushperfection(L) 123 Dominguez 7-3-6 Dutrow, Jr 2-1

Keechi Bullet notched rapid late pace figure when a tough-trip fifth in last; class drop seals the deal. Hopeful Boy was an ultra-game second in last and now makes first start for Parisella/Kupferberg tandem; very dangerous. Cantrushperfection owns very fast figs and is working strongly for Rick Dutrow; price plunge, long layoff and short price are negatives. Hurricane Heat is a three-time winner on the inner strip; worth a look.
