The More than Ready colt has only had two starts and won the Skyline Stakes last time out. Ashokan drifted from $26 to $35 after drawing barrier #14, but is back into $26 following today's money.

Another John O'Shea runner Faustus, $126 to $71 since the barrier draw, was singled out this morning with $1,000 at $101.
