RACE COMMENT
TRIGGER (5) has been running around the mark without winning recently. If he can get some cover during the run and have some luck late then he should be charging home against a field like this.LOCHINVAR RULER (7) is a strong chance but the draw looks tricky for him.SKINNY HORACE (1) and TUFFTIGER (2) are also chances.
