- RACES ON CARD: 8
- CARRYOVERS: Jackpot Pick 6, $9,554
RACE 1
| 3. Irish Wizard | Makes second start off a three-month break |
| 4. Streakalightnin | The word appears to be out on this one, given 2-1 morning line; work tab looks fine, and this is a half to 2020 Cavada runner-up Lady Storm, who won at first asking; Figgins 4/46 with first-timers |
| 5. Bid On Blue | Willing effort after sluggish start |
RACE 2
| 3. Nico Lucky | Wide-open heat here; this one had a good try two back versus $20k types at LRL in a race that’s produced a next out winner |
| 1. Humpty Grumpty | Thrashed $10,000 rivals in last |
| 6. Spunman | Defeated similar two back; a lively pace would be a plus to unleash closing kick |
RACE 3
| 5. Blaze for Daze | Blinkers on and plunges to bottom; flashed speed in debut and cutback in distance a plus |
| 3. Kumbaya | Drops out of special weight company |
| 8. Candy Outline | Gradually improving sort finds lowest level yet |
RACE 4
| 7. Simply Jack | Very good try in last when leading into final furlong before settling for second in first in four months; can improve |
| 8. Leg Up | Just behind top choice in last |
| 6. Lastwalktofreedom | Has some decent two-turn tries on the resume, tries three turns here |
RACE 5
| 1. Never Walk Alone | Last effort was fine; makes second start off the bench |
| 10. J J’s Joy | Chances compromised in last when bumping leaving the gate; has shown speed prior; Lasix back on |
| 2. Shared Authority | Has better efforts to run back to |
RACE 6
| 7. Landon Jack | Beaten favorite in two straight with efforts that may be good enough to win here |
| 3. Mon Gateau | Prior one-turn tries compete with these; trainer Brown 17% second off the claim |
| 6. Akito | Finished behind top choice in last; lightly raced sort may have some upside yet |
RACE 7
| 6. Ride the Brand | Game effort to graduate in last |
| 5. Cupid’s Song | Good effort in race that’s produced a next-out winner |
| 2. Raise a Ruckus | Getting to winner in last |
RACE 8
| 3. Castle Lights | Tough recent beats but owns eight wins at the trip |
| 2. Sister’s Duty | Won nicely in last against similar; first start of the season |
| 10. American Bound | Her form is in-and-out but better tries fit with these; must overcome outer post |

1.”Streakalightnin”can come in although”Uncle Press”may cause him some distress.
2.”Spunman”can but”Humpty Grumpty”will dispute it.
3.”Just Murphy” looks like a toughie,let’s box him with the field.
4.I’ll give Lela a “Leg Up”if”Simply Jack”does look back.
“Just Murphy”kept us solvent
but nothing exciting so far.
5.I’ll toy with”J J’s Joy”and “Feather Wish”in this.
6.This should be a piece of cake for”Mon Gateau”if”Landon Jack”is a little slack.
7.Don’t miss”Areyougonnakissme”and”Cupid’s Song”and you won’t go wrong.
8.”Castle Lights”has them dead to rights but”American Bound”may astound.
6.Ted’s box paid lots,
I only had 2 of the 3.
7.”Areyougonnakissme”good bye?
8.I was afraid if having some”Midnight Regret”
but wanted to stick to 2 picks.
