#2 WHO’S FIRST gets a bigger than it looks drop. He won by 3¾ lengths the last time he raced at this level and gets the leading trainer and jockey. #1 DYNASTAR has been running reasonably well on dirt this year but should really move up with the return to turf today. #5 NOTABLE TIGER looked incredible making up 10 lengths in the stretch last time.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 1,2,5
#5 GOLDVILLE appears to be at least five lengths the best on paper. She should break through today after two very narrow losses for twice this claiming price. #2 GOLDEN DOVE finally gets a good position after breaking from the outside in both her turf tries. #6 SHE’S SPONTANEOUS was a close second at this level last time and figures to be in the mix again today.
Suggested bet: Pick-3 – 5 w/ 2,5,7 w/ 4,7,8
#2 NONCHALANT ran into on of the tougher editions of this race last time. Today’s task is easier, especially with a relative lack of speed signed on. #5 ROUGH DAY had no chance trying to close into a slow pace last time. It was a good comeback race for a horse who finally gets to run two straight without a break. #7 RUDIRUDY must always be respected.
Suggested bet: Exacta box 2 w/ 3,5,7
#4 FLASHY JAZZY tired after setting the pace against more expensive n3L foes. The drop in price and back to n2L company should make him much tougher today. #7 Right On Go looked good breaking her maiden last time. #8 DAY FOR DAY is inconsistent but good enough on her best day.
Suggested bet: Pick-4 – 4,7 w/ 1,2,4 w/ 8 w/ 1,2,9
#1 TUX N’ TALES exits a starter allowance that was a lot tougher than the speed figure would indicate. #1A SIDE BUSTER also drops significantly from stakes competition, either would be tough here. #2 DIAMOND WILDCAT will win if he can return to last year’s form in his second start of the year. #4 MR. CLARK drops precipitously off a nine-month layoff. He’s scary.
Suggested bet: Exacta box 1 w/ 2,4
#8 JIGALONG freaked in his turf debut, winning by nine over two next-out winners. He looks like a deserving short-price favorite. #4 HIGHCREST looks to have significant upside after leading every step but the last in his first start against winners.
Suggested bet: Exacta box 4,8
#9 WYE looks like the only confirmed frontrunner here and is certainly classy enough to hold off any late charges. #2 KIM’S DIXIE TUNE finished almost the exact same distance behind Treasure Map as Wye did in separate races. #1 LUCKMAN finished very well to get second against similar last time and should be right back in the mix today.
Suggested bet: Pick 3 – 1,2,9 w/ 1,4,5 w/ 7
#1 FINAL SCRIPT has excuses for his last two, losing all chance at the start last time and running for a different barn two back. #4 IT’S A GIVEN has the best recent dirt form and has never been off the board at this somewhat unusual distance. #5 MY HUSBAND switches back the main track after two straight seconds on turf. He’s run well on dirt before and certainly fits.
Suggested bet: Trifecta box 1,4,5
#7 SHARMA’s last race makes him a very deserving odds-on choice today. #1 CANNON STATION may have need his last race off a long layoff. He’ll get a better trip from the rail today. #6 MAKIN A SUIT didn’t do much in his debut but may wake up the surface switch and Lasix.
Suggested bet: Exacta box 7 w/ 1,6
