RACE 1

5. Great QualityMakes second start off the bench and second with Lasix on; trainer-jock combo 3-for-6, and trainer Capuano’s won 11 of 40 outings in second off long breaks
3. Rockingham JoeSpeed figs stack up, and if he likes the dirt, he should be a factor; his best sib was stakes-placed on the main track
4. LexShades come off but leading rider goes on after near-miss versus similar

RACE 2

5. WhatarewedoingAggressively handled miss just missed at higher level in latest; barn means business when dropping in claiming price
6. DownanddirtydonnaZippy worktab for CT shipper; barn that doesn’t run here a ton attracts leading rider
2. Nanny’s DimeSome solid works, including from the gate

RACE 3

2. Band CampHas finished first or second nine straight, won last out, and makes third off the bench; looks for stalk-and-pounce trip
6. RominskiLikely speed of the speed and owns a class edge; the question is how aggressive will the pressure from his outside be? Last a bit of a disappointment at 2-5
9. Golden CandyDelaware lover reunited with trainer Neilson, who had him in ’23 and part of ’24
