While as individuals #4 SHADOW REALM, #7 RAPID GREY and #8 GOOD KING SAM fit today's race; when looking at the Plot all take up a similar runstyle role and Plot position (Q1/3) to contest pace and must deal with each other. That "Fire" scenario could see #2 TUTTI CONTENTI look for the upset tracking with first run. They should move up as well with the class drop and two recent WIDE trips following the 8/16 win including the GATE Keyword in the recent 10/19 start as a factor in outcome. 

#7 SOCIALLY INTACT earned a follow from the debut back on 10/10 with the EX - EXCUSE completely missing the break (VSLOG) and from there showing run making a MOVE and CLOSE with legitimate in running TROUBLE+ and visuals to suggest IMPROVE. They did improve two weeks later in the second start on 10/25 recording an improved number and B- OptixGRADE despite the 6th place outcome. They return to the level of the debut and with that buried form for a live longshot look here. 

#2 WUNHAPPY RABBIT also upgraded following their EX - EXCUSE from back on 8/17 along with the class drop playing a role in the lace finish on 9/7. They showed that was not a one-off coming back to the MOC25 level on 10/31 (B-) making a BURST (following the typical SLOG) WIDE in the place finish behind the BOS/pacesetting winner, Chargethatmountain. 

#4 PLAYMEA TUNE was upgraded at this level on 10/18 off their graded stakes form and figures this season and deserving of a look right back. While the outcome (5th) was not the ideal, the effort still honest pairing up a 92 figure (well within today's par) and B- OptixGRADE to counter the finishing position when noting the GATE SLOG and MOVE into a Fast early and late pace. Their form along with runstyle should suit today's dynamic and perhaps even benefit from the extra half-furlong while holding projected longer odds than rivals #3 SOUPED UP and #6 TWIN CITY those two rivals recording the same B- OptixGRADE as PLAYMEA TUNE even with the change in finishing positions.
