Second-time starter for Asmussen showed speed and was highly competitive (second by a half-length at the wire) in what has turned into a very nice-looking race, with winner ZOZOS returning to win by 10 lengths in an Oaklawn allowance race here a couple of weeks ago. Also note that third-place finisher STRONG QUALITY returned to win at Fair Grounds last weekend in a solid effort (outfinishing our 12/1 shot SCOTLAND YARD). Asmussen generally excels with second-time starters (22% winners over a large sample), and note that top rider Tyler Gaffalione has taken over the mount here (Gaff is hitting 26% with Asmussen for a big flat-bet profit). It would be foolish to expect anything but another strong effort here.
The other horse that kinda caught my eye in this race is #11 PLAUSIBLE DENILE (5/1 ml), who tied for the fastest furlong (9.4) at the the March OBS last year. Not much to see in the worktab, as he’s worked at least 5 different times with the unraced AMERICAN MAYHEM, but note that trainer James DeVito hits with a very respectable 17% of his first-time starters (for a large flat-bet profit), and based on his under-tack performance last year, he seems almost certain to show some speed.

Not endorsing this one, but noteworthy: Race 1 entrant DEVIOUS (10/1 ml) worked heads-up from gate on Jan 11 with WOOHOO JACKIE BLUE, who later won an MCL30 by 4 lengths on Feb 13 (same rider Ramon Vazquez aboard)

DEVIOUS went off at 20/1 odds, went straight to the front and led until midstretch. Had nothing after that. Good pass, as it turns out.
