- RACES ON CARD: 8
- CARRYOVERS:Â Jackpot Pick 6, $69,694
- POST TIME: 7:00 p.m.
RACE 1
| 1. Cut Him Loose | This miss and the #2 figure the most likely winners here, and we’re hoping this one might set up shop not too far off the early leaders and get first run; easy win versus similar three back |
| 4. Queen of Soul | Probably a fool’s errand, but this one should control the pace early, and maybe she’ll get away a bit |
| 2. Just Have Faith | Bested similar last out after rough outing against allowance foes; 0-for-12 ledger at the trip seems suboptimal |
RACE 2
| 3. Castle Toy | Won’t find any value with this mare, but any of last few races should be enough versus these and projects as main speed; DQed for medication violation after latest |
| 6. Snowy Juba Cat | Has encountered some trip issues in last couple, especially two back, but could stay clear of that with outer post as leading rider takes the irons; best contends, especially if top choice falters |
| 1. Shewearsstilettos | Lack of early foot is a problem going one turn here, but this one should be running at the end |
RACE 3
| 3. R Special | Bug rider Belisario lands here after riding this and #6 last time out; has some pretty decent tries, gets significant class relief, and has the early speed to be involved early here |
| 6. Barapha | Last couple against similar are solid; should be running late |
| 5. Keep Shining On Us | Beyer figs says she should win, but just one win and that via DQ from 17 starts advises caution |

RACE 4
| 7. Juba B Wild | Willing try in latest versus allowance foes and drawn well here; enough tactical speed to find a good spot for likely stalk-and-pounce trip; looks to improve after equaling career-best Beyer fig |
| 1. Moonlight Mistress | Couldn’t go with repeat winner Ivyleaguedropout in either of last two, but three’s nobody like that here today; should appreciate class relief |
| 4. Our Memories | Speedy type beat similar in latest |
RACE 5
| 4. Wecallemfuncoupons | Finger Lakes shipper galloped in latest in a race that produced two next-out winners; gets hot-riding bug up |
| 8. Heaven’s Got Fire | Ships in after intermittent good outings versus better, though only prior local try was middling; wins on best |
| 9. C R’s Uncle Lino | Maybe gets a jolt of confidence after win versus similar, though none of his rivals came back to win next |
RACE 6
| 7. Prime Shopping | Willing effort in latest when finishing ahead of four rivals who are here; has better to run back to and makes third start off the bench |
| 8. Jack’s Aloha | Has won two straight, one closing and one on the lead |
| 6. Toodleswasmyname | Middling try in latest when third versus similar but has better to get back to in second off the bench |
RACE 7 – James and Eleanor Casey Memorial Stakes
| 6. Orange Canyon | Gets blinkers on after very troubled outing in latest when heavy fave C’Mon Eileen forced her out into the first; look for improved try here |
| 5. Edy’s Flame | Deserving fave in this spot benefited in latest when favorite took out two major rivals including Orange Canyon; pace could be lievely |
| 7. Napule | Unlikely to be quick enough to make the lead here, but that might work to her advantage in a race filled with speed; rider Barbosa jumps ship to stablemate Edy’s Flame |
RACE 8
| 9. Marmara | Strong middle move in latest before emptying out late and makes second start in Farrior barn |
| 1. Always to the End | Lightbulb on after graduation score? |
| 4. Want All the Smoke | Not sure that was much of a field she saw in lone try on dirt, but the speed fig fits here; trainer Jones wins 10% in first in the barn |
