Live LongshotMIDNIGHT MAYHEM (#2, 12-1) cost mere $1.7K at auction & debuts for $50K, an automatic positive. Decently encouraging & consistent drills over the BHP all-weather surface. Outfit with favorable numbers (small sample size noted) in pertinent categories & winner at meet. Plenty to like at the price.- Marcus Hersh
Spot PlaySecond-time starter KE IN MOTION (#9, 7-2) can upset dropping to maiden-50. He should get a good trip sitting second behind the pacesetter. -Brad Free
Vulnerable FavoriteMAXIMUS (#6, 5-2) weakened in the lane three starts, and now stretches in distance over a surface less conducive to speed. Class drop insures he will be overplayed. -Brad Free

Spot PlayLILLY’S PERFECT (#5, 5-2) blew the start as the 5-2 favorite in a similar spot at SA Oct. 10 but to her credit kept to her task to finish 3rd, and the gal she chased home that day (Miss Well Molded) came right back to win smartly here last weekend. She has ample tactical speed so surely with a better start she’ll be in good position from the bell. Mulhall claimed her for $12,500 2 races back (Aug. 3), tried her for this price Oct. 10 (the aforementioned troubled 3rd) and KEEPS her at this same price for this assignment, which is most encouraging, as is the fact Bejarano stays put. -Michael Hammersly
