RACE 1
5. Serenade Soldier | Has kept better company and is slated to carry 11 pounds less than the favorite |
3. Windsor’s Memory | Projects as controlling speed in first try versus open company |
1. Martha’s Heart | Last couple much improved |
RACE 2
4. Christopher’sheart | When well spotted last couple, has responded with career-best efforts; should head to the front |
6. Road Punch | Shifts into Johnson barn after a couple good outings |
3. Spydylegs | Decent try in first against winners but may have a hard time reeling in speed |
RACE 3
8. Dust Devil | Decent recent form versus better |
5. Tempestivo | Easy winner when last seen locally |
1. Fieldstone | Likely to control the pace; cutback to two turns a plus |
RACE 4
8. Moonset | Has won last two one-turn tries at CT; Torrealba in for the mount |
4. Grand Escape | Not a terrible try versus better in last |
1. Cowboy At Heart | Look for this one to be hustled away from the gate and good enough to take ’em all the way |
RACE 5
6. Quantico Creek | Possibly cycling back to better efforts |
4. Travel Smart | Frequent bridesmaid |
3. Flat Discount | A return to three-back effort would put him right there |
RACE 6
2. Cut Him Loose | Lightly raced sort should appreciate class relief |
8. Symptomatic | 34-1 odds in last told the tale; better spotted here; reunited with winning pilot Bocachica |
7. Philmary Castle | In a race with absolutely no speed, this one may try to steal it |
RACE 7
2. Jubawithatwist | Won two state-bred stakes last year going two turns, so distance not likely to be an issue; sharp score in latest |
7. Juba’s Hat Trick | Got first win of the season last out and could be headed towards better form; note that regular pilot sticks with top choice |
5. Time to Rock | If he can handle the added ground, it opens up plenty of options down the road |
RACE 8
5. Shameless Visions | All four siblings have finished in the money first out, sire Bullsbay is above average with firsters, and trainer Ronney Brown wins at a 15% clip with firsters in special weight company; catches manageable group |
4. Princess of Gold | Added ground may be a plus |
3. Day Drama | Wide journey did her no favors in last |
