RACE 1

3. Honor Bright	$850,000 first-timer is a half to four graded stakes winner and three runners who won on debut; barn can win first out, and this miss appears to have worked in company with first-out winner Luv Your Neighbor
6. Techstar	Latest was not good, but debut when second to Jumping the Gun — who’s been the killer among the local 2yo fillies — was excellent
4. Miss Fulton Gal	Earned a big fig in good debut outing when second to 2-5 Embrace the Moment; that runner’s follow-up in a CD stake was poor, however

RACE 2

3. English Daddy	First in the Gorham barn (20% with a positive ROI first off the claim), and looks to be controlling speed with JRod up
6. Lil Sebastian	Outmatched in latest but returns to the sort of company where he fits in first for new trainer Strauss
5. Prime Motive	Field’s only three-time winner will look to run ’em all down late in first in Simone barn

RACE 3

If on dirt: 11-6-9

3. Companion	Had to pause awaiting room near the top of the lane in debut and ran on thereafter; feels like that may have been a tightener for longer races like this one
6. Candy Moonshine	Ran too well to lose last out in turf bow but ducked in at the gap, costing herself the race; galloped out in front, and repeat might be enough
9. Ambiance	Stidham firster for Godolphin is out of a G3-placed mare

RACE 4

2. Judith’s Cross	Arrives off a win and could be speed of the speed for a barn having a productive meet; likely pace pressure would be Bossyness, but it’s hard to know what to do with that runner after she was cooked in a 51-second half-mile at the Big T
7. Mikey’s Jewel	Has been in pretty good form since barn switch a few starts back and arrives off a sharp score
6. Penny Polka	Nice-looking win here in early July and three since have all been either versus much better, on wet surfaces, or both

RACE 5

If on dirt: 1-9-3

2. Chez Soleil	Three back outing was good enough to win here, and this one has enough early lick to be in a good spot throughout; two back came versus much better at much longer, and in latest, top two finishers were last and second-last early
14. Gogo Chanel	Gonna be a handful if drawing in but will have to work out a trip from the outer post; has finished not far behind repeat winners in last two, and two back outing produced four next-out winners
5. Bramble Bush	Will need to step it up in third off the bench but appears capable; arrives in good form
1. Recognize Me	Late-running sort has throttled lesser on the main track in last couple, so confidence won’t be a problem; wondering if enough pace will materialize to get her home

RACE 6

7. Cahira’s Song	Drops into logical spot after a couple of bland outings; not far removed from a race that wins here and has seen some tough rivals in recent allowance tries including $375k auction purchase Conch Fried Rice and now-8-time allowance or allowance/optional claimer winner Cuz Ur Pretty
1. Don’t Fool With Me	Guessing she gets bet down from here off useful return to action; every right to improve in second off the bench and second with Lasix
3. Unicycle	Tries main track in the afternoon for the first time; dam was a Minnesota-bred stakes winner on dirt and siblings have done best work sprinting on the dirt

RACE 7

If on dirt: 13-1-7

8. Hidden Motive	Multi-level drop from special weight company
13. My Vacation	Half to a G3-placed turfer ran OK in first on the lawn and shifts into hard-hitting Delgado barn; may opt to wait for MED spot
5. Alrasikh	Beaten at odds-on in two straight; grinding run in latest came up a bit short on a day in which all three turf races were won wire-to-wire
4. Kitten’s Ploy	Best outings are competitive

RACE 8

9. Peridot Pendant	Can’t be in any better form than this miss is; plenty of speed and drawn outside, ought to be able to take it to speed rivals
2. Opposite the Crowd	Just a couple removed from a race that wins here and switches into productive Barboza barn; ought to get a lively pace in front of her
1. Ritabook	Saw two-race win streak snapped in latest but finished in the top three for sixth straight time; will be on the engine early and trying to fend off other speedy types

RACE 9

4. Nat Gas	Wouldn’t want to go too crazy on this one if the odds get driven down in first since June; makes first start since being gelded; not worried about poor turf outing at 112-1, but the drop in for a tag without giving the dirt allowance one shot is an aggressive move
6. Boyd’s Band	Toss the turf try and this guy hasn’t run a bad race this year; should be a bit off the early pace and looking to make a run
1. Messi the Great	Speedster throttled cheaper maidens to graduate after troubled first local outing; let’s see how he handles the rise in company
