Race 8 – Clm 50000

1. #9 Prove Right (3-1) – Even if he gets over-bet, this colt by Justify comes off of three straight grade III tries and recently clocked in an impressive four furlong bullet work

2. #8 Joking Way (7-2) – Has been well respected by the betting public in his career and improved last time dropping into claiming company, plus comes off the claim for Linda Rice

3. #1 Devil’s Cay (10-1) – Maybe seven furlongs isn’t his ideal distance, but this gelding by Good Magic has shown a penchant for grabbing the early lead which could help here

4. #7 Street Swagg (5-1) – Cuts back to a slightly more manageable distance, and gets Irad Ortiz as this Maker trainee has been trending up in his speed figures each race

Race 9 – Clm 50000n2L

1. #6 Gamer (4-1) – Hasn’t finished in the top five since switching to turf, but drops from allowance company and wasn’t too far back in his last three plus comes off a good work

2. #8 Harry Hood (3-1) – Just went gate to wire last time out breaking maiden for Chad Brown, so it is concerning to see him in a claiming race, but still good enough in this group to contend

3. #10 Ski Patrol (5-2) – Tougher outside post, but has been competitive in four straight turf tries at this distance and has Irad Ortiz who remains well ahead in the jockey standings

4. #4 Mister Abarrio (10-1) – Four for six in the money on the turf, this Atras trainee off the claim has been competitive at this level and should improve after a tough break last time

2. #6 New York Thunder (6-1) – Recently off a bullet work, this colt possesses huge upside and a ton of natural speed and should challenge Ryvit for the lead to keep his record spotless

3. #5 Ryvit (3-1) – A winner of his last five, this Asmussen trainee has been best when getting the lead early, but won from off the pace in April so has some versatility

4. #3 Deer District (5-1) – Steadily improving this year, this one comes off a huge effort and could be the beneficiary if Ryvit and New York Thunder go out too fast

3. #3 Urgent Fury (10-1) – First time gelding ran better in his debut on the turf, and returns to the grass plus adds some distance here with Joel Rosario in the irons

4. #6 Twirling Express (6-1) – Returns back to turf and drops into maiden claiming, plus had a solid debut that may translate here with added distance and continued improvement
