RACE 1
| 1. Buffalo Shuffle | Easily beat lesser in last, first in new barn |
| 3. Stevethevandriver | Second in five straight before getting thrashed versus better in last |
| 2. Jammin Still | Has often seen better but winless at the trip |
RACE 2
| 6. Antipoison | Has faced better; third or better in four of seven at CT |
| 5. Curlin’s Thrill | Looks for bounceback effort |
| 3. Polar Wind | Inclined to forgive last after wide journey but wary of too-short odds |
RACE 3
| 4. Sponsored | Best efforts win here; trainer Dilodovico 5-for-12 at CT last five years |
| 2. Loco | Late interest in last, barely missing second |
| 6. Mineola Mike | Never worse than third in three local tries |
RACE 4
| 3. Marz Express | Looked like a star in ’22; only one prior start since |
| 4. Music Lass | Blinkers back off might help; first of ’24 |
| 6. Xanthe | Consistent sort arrives off win |
RACE 5
| 6. Honour’s Choice | Debut was decent at long odds; could offer value |
| 3. Somebody Loves Me | Even-money sure feels short on a horse who’s winless in 30 |
| 2. Avalanche Is Comin | Will need more |
RACE 6
| 5. Hardly Ever Better | Makes second start of ’24 after credible opener when third behind two next-out winners, including promising Marshall Peanut |
| 2. Powered by Love | Jock-trainer combo (Reynolds-Grams) 10-for-39 last three months |
| 1. Runaldo | Trouble on rail rounding turn in last; top trio here look evenly matched |
RACE 7
| 2. O’Conner Sunset | Beaten fave in last doesn’t win as much as you’d hope but keeps churning out good races |
| 1. No Love for Juba | Will he be fast enough to control from the inner post? Will be tough to reel in if so |
| 6. Jungle Beast | Has talent to compete; might need one off bench |
RACE 8
| 1. Boundtobeok | Can build off decent season debut; challenged leader but rebuffed |
| 4. Quantico Creek | Finished just behind top choice in last; winner repeated versus better |
| 5. Save the Flag | Has faced better |
