Fort Funston comes off a win in his last start. He has a fondness for the track. On the Tapeta he has 2 wins and a 2nd place finish. He will be in a good position the whole way. He likes winning and is from a good barn.

Full Power Ahead is dropping in claiming price. He has 5 wins on the synthetic track. He’ll have an honest pace to chase. His best race is from mid-pack. He had Russell Baze and runs well for Baze. His last win was with Baze, beating Fort Funston.

Taxi Fleet is a Southern California horse, claimed and dropping, which could be dangerous. There is no one hotter than his jockey, Michael Martinez. Taxi Fleet is coming off a year layoff. His trainer, Jerry Hollendorfer, plays the claiming game well. There is no way to know what this drop in claiming price means. The year layoff makes me suspicious, though.

W – Fort Funston

P – Full Power Ahead

S – Taxi Fleet
