#1A RABBITOUTOFMYHAT ran much better in his lone race than any of today’s rivals have managed. He’ll be a deserving short-priced favorite. #8 GILLIGAN’S CAT finished well to get third in his debut despite some trouble in upper stretch. #7 ONTHEDOTTEDLINE deserves another chance after a bunch of trouble at the start of his debut.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 1 w/ 7,8
#10 GOLD N’ VELVET can rebound today with a return to her typical deep closing style. #4 DON’T KNOCK TAP was a good third despite a wide trip last time. She doesn’t win very often but the consistent mare is usually in contention. #6 MAKE IT LAST loves this distance.
Suggested bet: Win – 10
#7 SHOW BOATIN’ has plenty of speed and is bred to appreciate the switch to turf. #10 SLEW PET is always very tough at this course and distance and will get a perfect set-up today. #3 SET CAMP may be the speed of the speed. #6 HITTHESNOOZE has been awfully tough this meet.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 7 w/ 3,6,10
#8 FAIR WEATHER was very impressive last time, dueling through a fast pace and holding on well to lose by 1¼ lengths. #1 SMILING CAT just missed chasing down a loose on the lead winner last time and was flattered when that rival came back to win again. #1A WHO’S FIRST also fits well in here.
Suggested bet: Pick-4 – 1,8 w/ 6,9 w/ 1,2,6 w/ 4,5
#6 WE’RE SAILING has developed a habit of clearing off through very fast fractions and tiring badly late. The same tactics may doom him yet again today but he’s run well enough to win this many times before and will be a big price. #9 BEACHCOMBER has never been worse than third, including a good second at this level last time. #3 AMBASSADOR DAN will get a good setup.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 3,6,9
#2 WHERE’S MY NURSE made an auspicious debut, running second to eventual Virginia Oaks show horse Julia Tuttle. She didn’t run as well last time but clearly has some talent and should have some real upside in her 3rd lifetime start. #1 MINNALOUSHE’S GIRL has been close on several occasions. #6 MORGAN’S FIELD has been working well at Churchill for her debut.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 2 w/ 1,4,6
#4 TRUE BLUE FINGERS would not even be eligible for this race if he hadn’t bumped a rival en route to an impressive win last weekend. He’s only run one race at this distance – a strong second in a stakes earlier this meet. #5 STEPPEDOUTOFPLACE got caught in a duel last time. He’s won impressively from off the pace before and should have plenty of options from post 5.
Suggested bet: Pick-3 – 4,5 w/ 1,7 w/ 3,5
#1 WON AFFAIR showed little sprinting on turf in his debut but today is a whole new ballgame and Luis Garcia sticks with him. #7 B G MAN tries dirt for the first time after a solid run for second on turf last time. If he can transfer that turf form over to the main track he’ll be tough. #6 TU BAKU should be closing late for a piece.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 1,7
#3 THE ONE TO CHASE hasn’t run on the main track in a long time but he handled it fine earlier in his career and he appears to be much faster than today’s rivals. #5 FINISHLION was third against similar last time and has every right to improve in his third start.
Suggested bet: Win - 3
