I have no major issues with Frontier Market (11), who has run the fastest races and does appear to be due for a maiden victory. He simply ran better than the others coming out of the Apr. 28 race, so it’s hard to envision them turning the tables. If anyone is going to take down Frontier Market, it figures to be one of the new faces. The one that really interests me is ARGONNE (2), who makes his first start on turf. This colt made a single start at Gulfstream back in February. He passed half the field behind an 11-length runaway winner, but never seriously threatened. He’s been given plenty of time to prepare for his turf debut since then and appears to be working forwardly in recent weeks. He displayed a turf action when working a 21 1/5 second quarter mile at the OBS sale last year, and he’s certainly bred to handle this surface as a son of Tizway. I get the feeling that this one may have ability, but he’s going to need to step forward in a big way to defeat Frontier Market.
