16 My Golden Opinion(L) 121 Dominguez 1-4-4 Rodriguez 3-1

Joburg Star was a front-running winner on dirt last out and should transfer razor-sharp form to turf. Recharged wheels back in a hurry after wide trip on Sunday. Sly could impact if fractions get hot and hectic.

16 The Kenosha Kid(L) 119 Maragh 2-5-5 Englehart 5-2

Sam's Buck was late-running fourth in last and should move forward in second start since five-month absence. Gossip Column was beaten favorite in last and should be aided by today's added ground. Post Pattern and Alarmed Ndangerous both made strong late rallies when besting top selection last time; neither would surprise.
