In this three-turn event for $5,000 claimers, #1 Righteous Man (9-5) exits tough starter event in belated seasonal debut and should regain winning ways here for trainer Lenworth Sewell. #2 Chesapeake Charlie (8-1) gets favorable inside draw and should benefit while seeking first tally in eight seasonal outings. #7 Officer Appeal (2-1) was modest fourth last out and could earn favorite’s role despite outside draw. #4 Towering Chance (5-1) exits allowance company and won against claimers two back for trainer Greg Viands.

RACE 3

1-3-5-2

In this competitive, two-turn event for state-breds, #1 Royal Pain (8-5) was solid third in Coin Collector Stakes last month and should regain winning ways at a short price in this spot. #3 Hardly Ever Better (9-2) graduated at first asking but has struggled against winners in two previous outings. #5 Blue N Gold (7-2) has finished third in each of last two outings at the level and looms a major threat for trainer Javier Contreras. #2 Sargent Kobe (8-1) graduated against maiden claimers two back for trainer Ronney Brown and could round out several gimmicks here.

In the Saturday night finale, #10 Bayou Bougie (10-1) has won both starts this year and gets favorable outside draw for upset bid off three-month break. #9 Gram’s Gal (8-1) has been fourth in each of last two but outside post could help improve efforts here. #7 Orbit Mars (5-2) graduated three starts back against maiden claimers and makes return after outings at Laurel Park and Delaware Park and likely assumes favorite’s role at post time. #6 Ny Beth Getsitdone (3-1) has been second in each of two local tries for trainer Kevin Joy and looms genuine contender in this spot.
