RACE 1
| 2. Sweet and Feisty | Put in one of the better efforts of this group last time out and should be good value |
| 3. Ruby River | Showed minor improvement in the drop down two back; still needs to finish stronger to win |
| 6. Seven’s Magic | Playable purely on the class drop; plus has been sharper recently outside of her last try going eight furlongs |
RACE 2
| 1. Conquest Dancer | Switches jockeys to Hernandez and cuts back to a more manageable distance |
| 4. Divine Romance | Likely favorite has some back class for Kravets, and has mostly fared well when competing at this level |
| 6. Shining Spirit | Is a threat when showing early speed, but faces quicker runners who break to her inside |

RACE 4
| 2. Meatballsforaries | Lost to the classier Tacit Value last time who dropped, and has stronger bloodlines than these by Not This Time who is in the top five for progeny earnings this year |
| 5. Run Chachy Run | Unable to go gate to wire in her debut but could get to the front again |
| 4. Sweet Shenanigins | Capuano has a 42% win clip for maidens in their second start and 31% with two year olds with an even stronger 45% with Maldonado this meet |
RACE 5
| IF ON TURF | IF ON DIRT |
| 1. Put a Rock on It | 6. Tariba Dream |
| 8. Mischiefness | 4. The Goddess Factor |
| 5. Whirlwind | 7. Phabulous Phoebe |
RACE 6
| 7. Quick to Accuse | No threat on a sloppy track, but if the course stays fast, this horse by Accelerate has the upper hand with a sharp break |
| 2. Just Call Ray | Chance for early speed which has led to recent improvement; strong record at the distance here for Jamie Ness |
| 6. Awesome Flay | Good record in the money lifetime, but not quite as classy so better to hit the board than win |
RACE 7
| IF ON TURF | IF ON DIRT |
| 7. Dance on Air | 8. Oxford Union |
| 6. Pujol | 7. Dance on Air |
| 3. All Fruits Ripe | 6. Pujol |
