RACE 1
| 1. Annieworkstoomuch | Graduated in latest and makes first start in Rodriguez barn (32% with a positive ROI first off the claim) |
| 5. Tovia | Inclined to draw a line through latest as runner was not asked for best in the lane; two back effort was very good versus rapidly improving Tearduc |
| 7. Ms. Lady T | Makes first start off a lengthy break; one of only two here to have graduated by running into a pace |
RACE 2
| 7. Paper Mansion | Saw eight race win streak snapped in latest when a game second at CNL after throwing down fast fractions; should control pace once again and be tough to reel in |

| 3. Louise Brooks | In good form now |
RACE 3

RACE 4
| 11. Vino From Ernies | Breeding says turf is the correct answer; lone try on synthetic was a near-miss second behind Everland, who won the Bourbonette Oaks three starts later |
| 8. Fire At Midnight | Useful season bow over soft ground |
| 7. Canny Land | Five-wide on the turn in good-looking maiden score that’s produced two next-out graduates |
| 12. La Crema | Ran on a bit late in first try versus winners |
RACE 5
| 6. Baby Dukes | Followed sharp debut with a not half-bad try in the G3 Sanford at the Spa; outside draw a positive here |
| 1. Golden Cookie | Got a little late on him in debut but he had enough to secure the win; show horse graduated next out |
| 2. Noble Force | Flashy debut score; passes on this weekend’s Sorority for this spot |
