2. Frenchies Gold | Would benefit from lively pace and beat allowance foes two back |

RACE 4
6. Gotanothathingcomn | Congenial outside draw gives her chance to use tactical speed to best advantage in a race light on early zip |
1. Just a Rainbow | Allowance company was too tough; this shouldn’t be |
7. Aim’s Jubilee | Consistent sort drops to lowest level, but 3-for-51 mark hard to get past |
RACE 5
9. Fiber Proof | DId a lot wrong in his debut and still was beaten less than two lengths and closing fast; can improve today |
1. Maniacal Mayan | Trainer Gazzier makes ’em count when she wins first out: 2-for-19 but with a 5.91 ROI |
6. Super Mountaineers | Zippy worktab for a firster by Fiber Sonde (18% 1st starters) out of a four-time winner |
RACE 6
7. Spanish Ghost | Galloped in only prior start; returns from lengthy vacation (trainer Contreras 16% off similar breaks) and notably, trainer’s go-to rider remains aboard |
6. Party Time for Me | Has caught a bunch of tough rivals in prior starts; a handful on best |
4. First Print | The “other” Contreras runner found stakes waters too deep but still has upside |
RACE 7 – FANCY BUCKLES STAKES
7. Dreamy Sonde | Cautiously handled mare owns seven wins at the trip while gradually working through conditions; wheels back two weeks after good-looking win |
1. Moonlit Kiss | Speedster 6-for-9 at the trip; sneaky good outing last out on the Pimlico turf |
8. Mendys Honey | Never worse than second at the trip and owns a local stakes win two back |
RACE 8
10. Wishful Thoughts | Possibly heading back towards better form after dropping to bottom |
4. Jubagotthemoney | Dominated last out to graduate; repeat would put him in the mix |
1. Riverlee | Runner-up versus similar in latest and makes third start off the bench |
