RACE NUMBERCONTENDERSCOMMENTS
Race 82-8-1-7Top choice #2 Onthisharvestmoon won nicely last out to graduate, and the show horse returned to win next out. This one figures to gun for the early lead and take ’em as far as she can… #8 Live and Let Liv, the probable favorite, has already won against similar twice, and the one she lost, to Malibu Beauty, came to a horse who won next out, as well. This’ll be her first start since late April, and she’s showing a couple of works since… #1 To a T ships down from Belmont for high-perecentage trainer Saffie Joseph and was a pretty good third against Florida-breds in her only try in allowance company… #7 My Beautiful Belle is stakes-placed and has been second and third at this level…
Race 104-7-8-5The Smarty Jones filly #4 Sail Above won nicely last out to graudate, and do note that was in open maiden special company, not against state-breds. The show horse returned to graduate, and this one may find the front-end speed creating a congenial pace scenario… #7 Secret Banker won at first asking for trainer Jamie Ness and should be a part of the early pace. Hot duo of trainer Ness and rider Silvera says this one’s a player… #8 Tiz Gracie has competed at this level and enters off a win, though that was back in December… Trainer Kathleen DeMasi can get ’em ready to win off the bench, and you have to like that she brings #5 Philadelphia Belle back in allowance company. She ran into some tough rivals when racing at this level last summer when she saw stakes winners Pink Caddy and Madam Meena. If she’s ready, she can contend…
