RACE 1
| 4. Effervescent | Trainer Farrior is 9/23 first off the break going 4 1/2 furlongs; debut outing was strong |
| 3. Cairnhill | Pretty lengthy resume for a maiden; switching synth and turf to dirt; will need to hustle |
| 7. Sweet Manhattan | Has been headed the wrong direction and now shortens up; looks to run into it |
RACE 2
| 7. Streetcorner | Credible try in one-turn dash in latest, now stretches back out to preferred two-turn trip at which she owns two wins; one of five to run back from latest won next |
| 3. Cruz in the Castle | May be speed of the speed and has a couple wins a the trip |
| 4. Gone With the Wyn | Reeled in second choice late to prevail in latest |
RACE 3
| 5. Ifthedevildanced | Credible debut behind runaway winner Irish Jubalee, who returned to be a good second versus winners at Timonium; cutback possibly not ideal, though fitness won’t be a question |
| 9 Gurney Halleck | Holy smokes! Don’t see too many Practical Jokes around CT; this one’s the first foal out of a winless mare who’s a full sis to Overnight Pow Wow, Duncan Idaho, Muad’dib, and Late Night Pow Wow; solid work tab |
| 7. Trust the Climb | Limehouse can get you an early runner, and the Farrior barn does well with 2yo debut runners in special weight company |

RACE 4
| 6. No Love for Juba | Tactical ability could make the difference in a race in which other major players will seek the front early |
| 3. Strive for Stride | Late-running sort was just in time at long odds in latest; might get similar setup here |
| 4. Pink Dinghy | Likely speed of the speed will be tough to reel in if getting loose |
RACE 5
| 5. Aye Direct | He’s been a different horse his last couple, and if he could avoid the trouble that always finds him, he’ll be tough in here; big effort in latest when shuffled out of it before regrouping to run into the exacta |
| 7. Gimme a Holler | Return to one turn looks to be a positive; flashed a bit of talent in debut |
| 2. Candy Connection | Speedy sort hasn’t run badly, and like to see leading rider Bocachica remain aboard |
RACE 6
| 2. Outwork Girl | Modest work tab for this first-timer, but she attracts leading pilot Bocachica, who likely had choice of the two inside runners; first foal out of a three-time winner is by Outwork (15% with older firsters) |
| 10. Fancy Conchita | Half-sis to hard-hitting local Fancy Concho shows just a single recent work; trainer Cromer 2-for-2 with debut runners |
| 1. Penguin Victory | Half to two first-out winners and two others to run in the exacta for a barn that can win first out |
RACE 7
| 8. Heart’s Compass | Sharp graduation score when running away from rivals in the lane after good trip; lightbulb on? |
| 1. Rezquia | Winner of latest won a Maryland-bred allowance at TIM next; plenty of early zip |
| 5. Fine Whining | Arrives on three-race heater while moving up the ladder |
RACE 8
| 1. Bahiti | Major class relief after rugged outing versus allowance foes; speed of the speed? |
| 9. Queen Jelly Bean | Looks for bounceback in third off the bench for trainer who earned 400th career win Friday |
| 3. City Taah | Likely to try for stalk-and-pounce trip |
