RACE 1
1. Brit’s Candyman | Most of his dirt tries win here on drop to bottom |
6. Bright Forecast | Arrives off a win |
8. Red Devolution | Should be engaged early |
RACE 2
5. Grace Is Golden | First foal out of an Outflanker mare who won at first asking has some decent works in preparation for career bow in soft field |
2. Victoriousvictoria | Improved try in latest for runner with a bit of early foot |
4. Zippy Do Da Day | Last dirt try came behind three next-out winners |
RACE 3
5. Ritz On Broadway | First time in the Compton barn (17% first off the claim) |
2. One Violent Affair | Good try in latest after turning aside the favorite but unable to contain runner closing from last |

RACE 4 – ON THE TURF
1. Reppazz | Outfooted sprinting in only prior turf try but galloped out well in front and should appreciate added ground |
9. Hollywoodland | Look for her in front early; last outing has produced two next out winners and other to finish second |
2. Star Anise | Third-place finisher last out in likely the toughest distaff turf maiden race of the meet |
RACE 5
3. Old Bay | Dominated in cutback to sprint distance, and runner-up returned to win next out |
5. Kitty’s Pretty | Just two lengths out of second in return from a year break; Allard barn 15% second off the long layoff; not much other early foot so should be engaged from the jump |
6. You’re the One | Has run well versus similar and good record at DEL |
RACE 6 – ON THE TURF
8. Wicked Finn | Has kept rugged company of late, including win machines Megacity, Skipperini |
4. Uninvited Guest | OK tries versus two-other-than rivals |
2. Laytown | Runner-up in only career turf try behind a horse who finished second in a minor stake next out |
RACE 7
7. What Does It Take | Formful sort drawn outside other speed and already has won beyond this level; leading rider picks this one over other Ness entry, who could complete the exacta |
6. Afraidofthebunny | Front-running score in latest but prior had show ability to win from off the pace; won’t be fast enough to lead here but may be poised behind a couple vying for early edge |
1. Pappy’s Revenge | Likely to try to grab the early lead from rail spot but will have to fend off #7 |
RACE 8
5. Baltasar | Has caught some tough heats in recent outings, finishing behind $600k earner Borracho two back and last out just missing in a race from which all four to run back have finished in the money |
3. Bar Down Express | Good-looking score in latest with runner-up returning to win next out |
6. Sainthoodforbrian | Finds lowest level for top connex |
