  • RACES ON CARD: 8
  • CARRYOVERSNone
  • POST TIME: 12:30 p.m.

RACE 1

3. Renegade SerenadeBombs away? This guy’s not good, but he does have early speed in a race woefully short of it; might catch a price on a horse who should get loose on the lead
4. Crabcakes N BeerLightly raced runner has posted both wins on dirt
2. Formal AffairMost recent dirt try has produced two next-out winners to date

RACE 2

3. Tojo’s MojoFigs say he doesn’t quite stack up, but he arrives off a win and should get the lively pace he wants to run into
1. MedagoochTough beat in latest when unable to fend off 7-5 Bold Diversion; one concern is those five runner-up finishes, versus only one win, in 10 at the trip
6. Cloud Without ReinDrop-down to cheaper seems to have done a world of good, as he’s reeled off three straight good outings; should be involved in the early action

RACE 3OFF THE TURF

7. FuzzyHalf to a runner who won his first three, including the Bath House Row at OP
3. Fifth GearUseful enough debut with some trip trouble
5. Conch Fried RiceHas some excuses

RACE 4

1. Mistical CurlinWon an allowance in New York last year, ran ok in latest, and trainer Ness wins at a 30% clip second off the claim
8. Fear of UnionCompton trainee seems to hvae turned the corner last several starts and perhaps will be an inch fitter than latest when tiring to finish behind two of these
2. Joe the JetCondition skipper arrives off a win

RACE 5

1. CatatumboBeat similar three back and solid outing in latest
3. Majestic TigerAttracts Ness’s go-to rider for first in barn after sneaky-good effort when rebounding from hopping at the start to give willing chase to 1-2 winner
7. Lookin At RosesNothing wrong with latest when chasing 4-5 Golden Juan, who won for the fifth time in six outings

RACE 6OFF THE TURF

9. If I Were YouIf ya like Crabcakes N Beer in the first, you kinda gotta like this horse, too; dirt form the best of these and just missed in latest
11. MuthabirFirst in the Richards barn (1-for-27 this year); dirt form fits
5. Master MunningsBest wins here

RACE 7

6. Town’s WarriorBested Penn allowance foes in latest, which just squeezes under condition’s earnings cap; in the exacta four straight and tactical enough to pounce on the leaders
8. Frosty the GiantLikely speed of the speed but may be pressed early, which could provide similar result to latest on dirt
7. Bill of RightsConsisten sort should have a pace to run into and arrives off a win

RACE 8

7. PinotslilgirlHas been one-two in last five dirt starts and should sit a good trip off some inside speed; some concern about the one-week turnaround, and 0-for-5 mark at the trip is suboptimal
3. Devil Pays in GoldLoves Delaware (6-for-6 in the money) and this trip (9-for-11 ITM)
5. You’re the OneMuch-improved early lick in latest led to big win; can she repeat off career-best?
