RACE 1
3. Lady Arwen | Form’s a bit in-and-out but has plenty of better efforts that would win here; bit of a middle move in latest when claimed by Rodriguez, and might get a favorable pace scenario |
6. Simmering | Arrives off a win and should be sitting one-two early |
2. Bad Temper | First off the Simone claim and gets leading rider JRod up; even effort in latest versus similar |
RACE 2
3. Soo Handsome | Only prior dirt try wasn’t terrible and came going five-eighths; dam was a four-time winner on the main track; competitive if he brings turf form to dirt |
4. Frame Up | Last couple on dirt are fine; gets blinkers on |
1. Parlay for Destiny | Draw a line through latest on turf; dirt tries are OK and versus better |
RACE 3
3. Mister Muldoon | Troubled trip in latest when beaten fave at Canterbury; all four to run back won their follow-ups |
10. California Tiger | Makes third start off the bench and third in Ness barn; half to a multiple stakes winner on turf |
9. Pretorian Gold | Won an allowance on turf last out at Penn National; has been in the money six of eight on the green |

RACE 4
6. Bold Ambition | Stinker in latest when pressed into submission by 8-5 winner but prior form OK, including three-back win and two-back outing when beaten less than three at higher level; cutback in distance a bit of a question but does own a win at the trip |
7. Belts ‘n Brooks | Trainer Richards is 16% second off the claim, and this one ran evenly versus open claiming rivals in latest |
1. Fight Fiercely | Lack of early zip a concern in a race without much of it, but should be running at the end |
RACE 5
2. Kindred Hearts | Won latest in first career turf outing; trainer Aristone 4/12 with a 3.45 ROI second start off long layoffs |
7. Mischiefness | Not hating on that last outing when tepid pace put this one up against it, yet she still mounted a bit of a rally; hopes for more lively pace today |
6. Volatility | Speed figs put her right there if not at the head of the class on turf, but unsightly 0-for-13 record on the lawn gives pause |

RACE 6
5. Borracho | 20-time winner has won two straight, is 11-for-24 at the trip, and may be speed of the speed |

8. Stormproof | May be in a bit deep here, but do note this one broke his maiden in $20k claiming company at 6f at Keeneland |
RACE 7
5. Noble Jon | All he does is run good races on turf and should sit an ideal trip with tons of early lick signed on |

2. Cold Feet | Outquicked to the front in latest and failed to fire from there; earlier turf outings were just fine |
