RACE 1: 5-3-2-1

#5 Heat Alert returns to a distance and level at which he fits, and if he can also return to his better form, he’s as good as these, and in a wide-open heat, he should offer value; kinda thinking that last at 5 1/2 was a glorified workout… #3 Secret Treasure just missed against similar in latest and has kept pretty consistent form the last few months… #2 Midnight Onyx switches into the Pecoraro barn (20% first off the claim) and actually turned for home with a head in front in latest before tiring; Pecoraro peels off the blinkers …

RACE 2: 7-4-1-3

#7 Thirsted ran OK at this distance against special weight foes and OK again going longer at this level. This time the charm? #4 Savvylicious tries dirt for the first time; breeding says that should work…

RACE 3: 1-5-8-2

#1 Souper Power Tapit is a half-brother to a Grade 2-winning turf sprinter, makes his debut, and has been working fast… #5 Pure Octane has run two really good races on the turf, now tries a sprint for the first time… #8 Mysterioso’s sibs are 5-for-11 sprinting on the turf

RACE 4: 5-2-1-4

#5 Tall Cotton is lightly raced enough to retain a bit of upside and makes second start after the Castillo claim… #2 Tell ‘Em I’m Comin has generally faced much better but is an unsightly 1-for-37… #1 So So’s form is just fine, but the voided claim in latest advises caution…

RACE 5: 4-8-3-5

#4 Tour Jete drops down a level off a credible try for her second off the bench… #8 Racey Ruby had been in good form but disappointed as the fave in latest… #3 Tiki Bar beat $16k claimers back in February…

RACE 6: 2-4-7-8

#2 Good Willie throttled $25k maidens two back and last out found the competition too tough against $40,000 rivals; cutback to 5 1/2 furlongs and drop in company should do the trick… #4 Party On Rufus looks like the speed in here, which could serve him well at this short sprint distance…

RACE 7: 4-5-1-3

#4 For the Ladies drops into the claiming ranks for the first time off a credible turf allowance try, and trainer Delacour has a positive ROI first time for a tag… #5 Pinky Swear made her first try since Timonium last August a winning one… #1 Code Name Willow makes her second start off the bench…

RACE 8: Peach Blossom Handicap

Perhaps a shot in the dark but we’re hoping #4 Sassafrassness can rally into the pace in a race with plentiful early speed… #7 Sophie’s Cruiser is one of those with a ton early foot and just missed two back in a Fair Grounds stake; last was not good but has better to run back to… #5 Boujee Bubblez is in good form sprinting; in her only prior two-turn try, she led a ways before tiring… #1 J Candy rerallied in her first try on the lawn…

RACE 9: 3-6-1-4

#3 Shes the Tall One makes her first start in the Lynch barn after a couple of middling tries at Oaklawn… #6 Molly the Cat is likely to go favored after two good tries versus similar… #1 Keep Her Happy’s debut on turf was an even effort, but the switch to dirt should aid the cause…
