The first leg of the Pick 6 could be fought out between STAR IN MOTION and WORLD OF ROYALTY. The former was backed to win his second start but found subsequent Listed placed Count Rouen a bit strong that time. He was then unlucky, beaten 0.15 lengths after a tough start last time. WORLD OF ROYALTY has also come in for solid betting support but gave the impression he wanted ground when also beaten in a close call. Both are bred for 1400m and could take it to the wire. CAPTAINSHIP and VENCEDOR have run some decent races and need to be considered in exotic bets.
