Race 4 | 8-2-6-4 | #8 NY Anthem (5-1): Faced better out of town and returns to home track. He is capable of wiring this field from outside post. Trainer John Servis is 16% with MSW runners. #2 Magicnthemoolight (2-1): Ships in from Santa Anita and goes turf to dirt. Has also faced better and fits well with these. Trainer Scott Lake is 15% with with new runners. #6 Flaco Explosivo (9-2): Gets close with same. Dueled a long way last out to be 3rd and should hang on for a share. #4 Clear Cut (6-1): Was a solid 2nd last out with cheaper. Has the speed to get involved early and can hang on for a share.
