- CARRYOVERS: None
- POST TIME: 12:40 P.M.
- NUMBER OF RACES: 8
RACE 1: 1-6-7-3
#1 Java Tales enters in good form, and third-place finish in latest flattered when For the Ladies returned to win the Shine Again at the Big T… #6 Capricorn Belle has won two straight and ran huge in latest when staying on valiantly despite being under attack throughout…
RACE 2: 2-1-6-5
Looking like we’ll eat the chalk with #2 Hope’s Alive, who looks like speed of the speed in second after Kravets claim…
RACE 3: 6-2-11-10
#6 I’ve Got a Notion ran OK on debut, making a run at the 4-5 winner before flattening out; Great Notion can get you a turf sprinter (13% turf sprints)… #2 Aunt Judy is a daughter of Uncle Mo out of a stakes-winning turfer, and trainer Lynch has a strong first-out record… #11 Ocala Gold is part of the sizable first class of Golden Pal’s offspring, and the onetime Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint winner is off to a fast start, with 13 debut winners and a slew of turf sprint wins…
RACE 4: 3-1-5-4
You can’t be any hotter than #3 Kerness K, who has won nine straight and should catch a lively pace to unleash his late kick… #1 Woodline is moving up the class ladder… #5 Twelve Treasures is another who’ll run later and perhaps is the most likely winner outside of our top choice…
RACE 5: 2-4-9-11
Bombs away! #2 General Fanale’s breeding says he wants the lawn, and they tried to get him on it last time in a race that came off; gave an improved account of himself and at long last gets likely preferred surface today…#4 Farooq has run some pretty good races sprinting on the turf, and his breeding says he should stretch out nicely; first in the Wagner barn…
RACE 6: 4-3-2-1
Trainer Terri Pompay is 5-for-18 with a 3.88 ROI second off long layoffs, which makes #4 Cockeyed potentially an attractive play off an 8-1 morning line; flashed decent form at two and three prior to long break and really didn’t run poorly in first off the bench; gets blinkers on today… Hard to ignore #3 Trust Fund, which has the potent Ness-JRod combo and better form to run back to…
RACE 7: 2-8-1-9
#2 Gallant Lad has run some good races while consistently facing better; the break’s a slight concern, but the class relief helps for a Matz barn having a strong meet… #8 Orange Road stretches back out after a good try sprinting… #1 Chalk Talk just missed against similar last out in first on turf…
RACE 8: 6-3-1-4
#6 Re Election drops in his second following maiden score at the $25,000 level, and he didn’t run badly last out when dueling early with 2-5 winner; note that the claiming tag in that race was $100k… #3 Magic Bay lands in a good spot after trying better…
