Kaufy Bean was unfancied stepped up to a mile here last month but made all and has had only seven career starts. Wild Medagliad’oro looked a potentially smart performer when last seen at Belmont Park in May of last year and could play a part, despite his lengthy absence, while Ambassador Jim would have a squeak on his best form around here, though could have been better drawn. AZRAEL (NAP) was progressive last year and there was a lot to like about his winning return to action here last month. There is still untapped potential to unleash in Chad Brown’s colt so he gets the nod. Mozo Bello could also go well at much bigger odds.
