- CARRYOVERS: None
- POST TIME: 12:45 P.M.
- NUMBER OF RACES: 8
RACE 1
| 3. Uninvited Guest | Sits a good trip behind a couple of speedy types; just missed two back versus similar in a race that produced two next out winners and two other runners-up |
| 1. Striking Sparks | Look for the seven-pound bug to try to put this one on the lead early after bland outing when not quite making the lead |
| 2. Lonely Ride | Late-running sort will be moving at the end; may not get lively enough pace to get the top spot but should find a piece of it |
RACE 2
| 7. High Heel Native | Over her head behind the promising Jumping the Gun in the Small Wonder but won’t have to contend with anything like that here; can step forward |
| 1. Downanddirtydonna | Ran huge at 30-1 in latest; curious to see her wheeling right back in a week; repeat would do it |
| 4. Lucy’s On a Roll | Rallied smartly to graduate at first asking in a professional effort |
RACE 3
| 10. El Tinmarin | First off the Ness claim and tries a route of ground for the first time; turf form hasn’t been bad and any improvement puts him right there |
| 7. King Covee | Winner of latest had been third in the James Murphy Stakes; will be running late |
| 8. Padiddle | Pretty amazing streak of races — from MC 25k to Grade 1 and back into claiming/starter ranks |
RACING NOTES
- Jockey and trainer stats through last Saturday…
- Today’s feature is the seventh, a first-level allowance turf sprint…
RACE 4
| 6. Grey Streak | Might be enough speed in here to let this one unleash at a price; ran big behind He’s In Charge, winner of five straight two back, but never picked up his feet in latest |
| 8. Nancy Made My Day | Disappointed at 2-5 in latest after traveling widest around the turn; should be engaged early |
| 1. Leonids | Likely to be gunning for the lead; didn’t miss by much two back versus similar but cooked last out against better |
RACE 5
| 11. Tiki Bar | Nothing wrong with latest when second to talented South Africa-bred Distant Winter; won last time spotted versus similar and should get a lively pace to run into |
| 1. White Lilacs | Bested similar in latest and likely to be up close throughout |
| 4. Conquest Dancer | No chance to close in latest with sluggish early pace; that shouldn’t be the case here |
RACE 6
| 3. Oleg | Well spotted to build off maiden breaker |
| 5. Oneofthegoodguys | Switches back into Salvaggio barn following good try at CNL |
| 1. Boyd’s Band | Tries against winners aren’t bad at all despite repeated defeats |
RACE 7
| 2. Billionaires Row | Red-hot Trombetta barn winning everywhere these days; lightly raced type arrives in top form |
| 1. Jetaros | Has already won N1X but low TAM purses allow him to qualify for this spot; looks for stalk-and-pounce trip |
| 6. Contemplation | Probably a cut below top pair but arrives with back-to-back wins |
RACE 8
| 5. You’re the One | Gets major class relief after seeing the likes of multiple stakes winner Onyx Ten and next-out stakes winner Maida in last couple; should get stalk-and-pounce trip |
| 1. Just Like You | Arrives off good try and switches into Simone barn; should be part of the ealry action |
| 7. Yumyum Eat Em Up | Late-running sort should be picking off rivals; as been competitive at this level |
