ANALYSIS

This one-turn dash for never-won-two allowance state-breds doesn’t have a ton of early speedsters in it. Many of these are horses that have bounced back and forth between one- and two-turn races or are closing sprinters. That could be good news for #7 In the Limelight (6-1). He didn’t make the races until the middle of his four-year-old season, and several two-turn tries were nondescript. But trainer Vernon Greaves tried him sprinting, and the improvement has been immediate. He graduated last time out with a career-best BRIS speed fig, and maybe the lightbulb’s gone on… Morning line favorite #2 Areyougonnakissme (2-1) has a shot to give Cyndy McKee, widow of the late John McKee, her first victory as a trainer… #6 Donnie B (6-1) lost all chance last out when squeezed back leaving the gate but did run on a bit late. In his second with Lasix on, he has a right to improve, and do note he beat our top choice three back… #3 Lord of Cork (5-2) has run some decent races versus similar but probably needs to step forward to contend for the top spot…
