"The first decision you have to make is really how you feel about the seven sican... I generally like these saffie horses coming back home so she feels like one that's a relatively likely winner she kind of it's hard to talk about class at this stage right pete but she does feel like the one with kind of the most class to her if you will."

The speaker, Nick Tammaro, highlights Sican as a primary contender in the Cash Run Stakes, noting her potential as a likely winner due to her class and return to familiar surroundings. Tammaro suggests that while class is difficult to define at this early stage, Sican's past performance indicates a higher level of ability.

"I did have one other idea I certainly get sican candidate to be the best speed very tough one to fade I I know I think it would be foolish to fade a bet like the sunset six I did want to note though regarding sican that I did think she was aided in that big run by on a day that time form had its speed favoring and that there is other possible speed in here that led me to think that maybe the five runner nikon deserved a look."

The speaker expresses a nuanced view on Sican, acknowledging her potential as the fastest horse but also suggesting that her previous strong performance might have been influenced by track conditions favoring speed. This leads the speaker to consider Nikon as an alternative, believing it could benefit from a favorable pace scenario.

"I like the eight fantasy performer -- and and I do like for flying as well -- I have the the two in the mix dancing in dixie I worry that she is a little too pokey a little too slow and needs a little bit too much of a setup The other problem with her is I mean she's she's lost seven in a row and has never really been much of a winning type."

Nick Tammaro discusses contenders for the second race of the sequence, expressing reservations about Dancing in Dixie due to her slow pace and winless streak. Tammaro favors Fantasy Performer and For Flying, indicating a preference for horses with more competitive recent form and a potentially better running style for the race.

"I'm going to use the six and eight primarily -- the two mainly as a backup and just try and get through... I like the running line last out from fantasy performer and I'll tell you what race absolutely stood out pete and I know it was aided a little bit by a a strong pace but that one other than when over this synthetic course back in april was gigantic and it came when she was in the care of cam gambolatti."

The speaker prioritizes Fantasy Performer (eight) and For Flying (six) in their selections for the second race, with Dancing in Dixie (two) as a secondary option. The speaker emphasizes Fantasy Performer's impressive past performance on synthetic surfaces, particularly a race from April under trainer Cam Gambolatti, as a key indicator of its potential.

"I got to tell you did you watch the replay of alby lands last race yes I mean he ran huge to get carried out the way he did on the first turn continue wide the entire way around there he really never stopped running he got asked to go early pete I'll note it in the race call when they're going around the turn that harameo sent him for an early move and he just stayed on all the way I mean it was a gigantic effort and I got to say I mean stretching out for the first time to run that well mile feels like it's probably going to be his ideal trip maybe even a little bit bit shorter as time goes by I'd pick him right back I don't I don't have any argument with him whatsoever."

The speaker recounts Al P. Land's exceptional performance in a previous race, highlighting its ability to overcome significant adversity, including being carried wide and making an early move. The speaker believes this effort, especially when stretching out to a mile for the first time, suggests the horse may have found its ideal distance and warrants immediate backing.

"You know as much as I wanted to try anybody else I thought jet evator would be really tough in here -- just looks to be in very sharp form at the moment went to the calbred ranks last out won comes right back in for the tag again -- so he's in the same condition looks like a horse that really towers over the competition based on those last few speed figures and the fact that he was running as well as he was against open company and has translated it now to some of the calbred events I just felt like he was probably going to win."

Nick Tammaro identifies Jet Evator as a strong contender in the final leg of the Sunset Six, citing its current sharp form and success in both open company and Cal-bred races. Tammaro believes Jet Evator's speed figures and overall performance indicate a class edge over the competition, making it a likely winner.
