Ok, If LAT returns to her pre-breeders cup form then this is all for naught. But at 4/5 or less I'm willin' to bet against her.
Larry Jones could have entered Harve de Grace in here but he is looking ahead at G1 races at Belmont and Saratoga. So what does ole Larry do, he enters his comeback horse of the year:
#2 PAYTON d'ORO, 4-1
She was off for a year. In her first back at Oaklawn in March, 2011, Jones basically gave her a tune-up at 1 mile and she was rolling late at the winner. 1 1/16 is her cup of tea and she will be rolling late as this race is full of speedsters who will pay for their early efforts. This is one serious racehorse who should sit just off the battle up front and bull her way to the lead in the final furlong. Ole Larry has had this race in mind for months and do not this one get away without getting down!
#3 DECELERATOR, 5-1
Wayne Lucas has brought this one along in perfect order for his #1 clients, Joe & Scott Ford. FYI, the Ford's sold a little company they owned called Alltel, to Verizon for 2 billion $ or so. Nevertheless, this one is in top form and is a major player in this race.
#4 LIFE AT TEN, 4/5
Let's face it, she is probably not the same horse she was last fall. If she is, then you have to believe that the BC fiasco was just a minor glitch in her condition. The fact that she is entered in a GIII tells me she has some kind of problems. However, can't leave her out of exotics.

GOOD LUCK!
