RACE 1
| 4. Step Lightly | Has a shot to take ’em all the way |
| 7. Rose of Sharon | First start in Simoff barn |
| 6. Angel Mesa | Only one here with a win on an off-track |
RACE 2
| 2. Thea’s Theme | Veteran mare could be speed of the speed |
| 6. Simmering | Will be an overwhelming favorite and should be too good for these — but she’s lost two straight at odds-on and hasn’t won since 2023. The value proposition likely to be a little rough |
| 4. Illusion of Hope | Makes season bow for productive Gorham barn |
RACE 3
| 3. Great Quality | Trainer Gary Capuano has a positive ROI with comebacking runners; this one hooked subsequent stakes winner Sacred Thunder in most recent |
| 6. Otter Creek | Gelded since respectable try in minor stake |
| 5. Grim Reaper | Big Beyer fig in latest likely to draw bettors’ attention, but none of seven to run back has won since |

RACE 4
| 6. Rowsie Express | JRod and Ness off to fast starts at DEL; this mare loves an off track |
| 1. Central Avenue | Multiple graded stakes-placed runner competed with the likes of Thorpedo Anna and Just FYI at two but has only made three starts in the last 18 months |
| 5. Honor Cat | Caught a tough group in latest as top trio won follow-ups, including a stakes win; better efforts contend |
RACE 5 – OFF THE TURF
| 9. Divining Smile | Allowance company was too tough; this group shouldn’t be |
| 10. Fire At Midnight | Speed figs stack up and makes second start off the bench but is winless in 11 main track tries |
| 6. The Feisty One | Lightly raced runner can improve |
