RACE 1

7. Always ConnectedNo catching loose leader Out of Luck in last but a return to most of her recent efforts would get it done here; record a shade misleading after going winless in 20 tries on turf and synthetic
6. Ritz On BroadwayFaded late in last after wide journey
4. ExageradoraGets hot-riding bug Robles after rough outing in last

RACE 2

6. His Name Is SueVeteran should be a handful in second off the bench while dropping from open company; looks to have early pace advantage
5. Class ActorLast couple aren’t great but overall, this lightly raced sort has shown enough to contend here and still has upside
2. Senate ChamberAlso dropping from open company but finished well behind top choice in last

RACE 3

7. Marian CrossBoth turf tries solid including good debut at 5 furlongs when chasing pace over rock-hard GP course
4. IthinkiloveyouSolid first local outing, now tries turf for first time; sire Sky Mesa does well with turf sprinters
6. Mo’s Vino MesaSaved ground throughout in last and put head in front mid-stretch before being swallowed up by winner

RACE 4

7. Sheza Nasty GirlHas kept better company than these; probably wants more ground but may be good enough to overcome that
3. Carsons Cool WomenRallied from the clouds to graduate in last; lands in right spot for first against winners; lightbulb on?
4. Whatta NotionOK tries at Charles Town

RACE 5

1. Financial DistrictBombs away! Ran on a bit in lane last out and ought to be able to take the added ground; debut effort was strong last summer behind a runner who was third a neck in Keeneland stake; should benefit from drop to more appropriate company
7. Amani’s TigerRan second twice on the turf in special weight company; gets turf again for first time since last September
12. Napoleon’s WarMust overcome outer post but two turf tries are good enough

Racing Notes

  • 10-pound apprentice Anthony Radcliffe earned his first riding victory Wednesday when he piloted Bar Down Express to a win for trainer Kieron Magee, paying $3.60 as the favorite…
  • Pallotta Sisters ($5.00) won the featured seventh-race allowance on the turf by two lengths. Jockey Jorge Ruiz was up for trainer Graham Motion…

RACE 6

1. Two Thirty FiveHas been keeping better company than these until last outing; if time off gave him a boost, he can score at this level
8. OspreyConnections protected him last out in first start of the season, a dominant win, and do so again here; can move forward
5. Inter MiamiSolid win in starter company last out

RACE 7

3. Twist ‘n TwirlBetter than it looks season bow as this one was rank early, stalked the pace and tired in the lane; dead-heat winner Crabs N Beer returned to be second in G3 Dinner Party on Preakness day; gets trainer Motion’s go-to turf rider in Ruiz
1. Mission ManTired in nine-furlong first start of the season but has prior good efforts on the page; runner-up Fulmineo won James W. Murphy next out
4. Cannon’s RoarUsually runs well enough to win without winning

RACE 8

6. Pistol Or ShotgunArrives off a win and has back form that would win here
2. Awesome PrinceHas been in the money seven of eight but may be a bit outfooted in short sprint
4. El de ChirelFigs say he should win and will try to pop the latches on top and take ’em all the way, but voided claim in last and drop in price here make us leery of likely short odds
