Stake: $1,688

BLACK AURA (2) Came in 4th last run at The Gardens. Expected to rebound. Shows good early pace. Rates a winning chance.

Capable of a strong comeback and has a nice advantage with a good box. Has to be included. REAL ORSON (7) Moderate showing when 6th last run at this track. One of the main dangers.
