- RACES ON CARD: 8
- CARRYOVERS: Jackpot Pick 6, $10,484
RACE 1
| 2. Sam Wheat | Improved speed in last and gelded in the interim |
| 5. Stayinyourlane | Ran well in only prior local two-turn try |
| 3. Ramsey | Only local effort a solid second at this level |
RACE 2
| 7. Taco Bean | Has been facing better and drawn outside other speed; easy winner last time he saw nickel company |
| 3. Mark Did It | If the pace heats up, this one’ll be running at the end |
| 5. Royal Spy | Speedster has faced better at LRL; could be tough to reel in if he slips away from #7 |
RACE 3
| 6. Change the World | Stuck with it in last after seeming to start to fade and makes third start off the bench |
| 1. Moonlit Shadow | Keeps running good races without getting the money; speedy sort may have hand forced by inside draw |
| 7. Lucylou Who | On best the likely winner but making season debut here gives us pause on accepting 2-1 (which is the morning line) |
RACE 4
| 3. Gold Fiber | Four-time winner can lead or stalk; McKee barn has come to life in recent weeks |
| 8. Pink Dinghy | Solid effort when in for a tag for first time; makes second start off the bench |
| 2. Kidman Kerry | Generally terrible form at PRX but has run well in two of three here; somewhat troubled trip in last local start in a heat that produced three next-out winners |
RACE 5
| 8. Stevethevandriver | Has been second six times since his last win; speedy sort is drawn outside other early types |
| 4. Bubba G | There are several early runners in here, which might be good news for this one to get a stalk-and-pounce trip |
| 5. Flaming East | Finished behind top choice in last two |
RACE 6
| 7. Penguin Power | Should sit perfect trip off dueling duo of Duncan Idaho and Golden Key; 9yo makes second start off the bench |
| 2. Duncan Idaho | Up-and-comer is super-well-bred and has a ton of early zip; that speed will be tested here |
| 6. Golden Key | Veteran got loose on the lead in last and held off top choice; probably won’t be loose this time |
RACE 7
| 4. Lemorian | Debut was sharp enough for connex to try G1 Spinaway next; shifts into Schiano-Dicola barn which, though winless in ’24, has had seven of 10 runners run two-three |
| 6. Bella Mela | Improving miss makes season bow |
| 2. Dreamy Sonde | Blew through state-bred conditions and has run well in open company |
RACE 8
| 3. One Candy Castle | Won nicely in last when dropped into nickel company; may have a bit of pace to run at |
| 4. Pinnacle Reef | Speedy sort keeps running pretty good races but has been stuck at 5k N3L for five straight |
| 10. Aldrinaline | Has won at this level before and arrives off a bit of a break |
