RACE 1
| 8. DeSantis | Rallied in improved effort in latest sprinting; front-end threat going two turns |
| 1. Zoomer | Drops to lowest level |
| 6. Gurt’s Warrior | Good try in latest after wide journey |
RACE 2
| 4. Uptown Tappin | Breeding more sprint-oriented but trainer Ashby 3-for-4 with 2yo debuting at a mile or over last 2 years here; sharp gate work Aug. 24 |
| 6. Omaha Omaha | Walked out of the gate in grassy debut, losing all chance; ran on willingly for all that, and breeding says main track won’t hurt and could help |
| 2. Sacred Thunder | Gets blinks on after three straight near-misses; gonna get bet |
RACE 3
| 4. I’m Bleu Too | Not a terrible return to action versus better and can improve in second off the bench while landing in appropriate spot |
| 7. Heirozan | Threat to wire the field; we’re guessing odds drift up from morning line, but be a bit cautious if not |
| 6. Annieworkstoomuch | Couldn’t go with winner in late stages after chasing but stuck with it; lightly raced sort still has upside |

RACE 4 – ON THE TURF
| 8. Just Keep Looking | First time out for this Great Notion colt who’s a half to 2021 Rosie’s Stakes (CNL) show horse Wish Me Home; Robertson barn 22% with debut 2yo |
| 1. Staygoldponyboy | Flashed good speed in last on main track, is a half to a turf winner and by a sire that wins with turf sprinters |
| 7. Beau Ciel | Lynch barn super-strong with debut 2yo |
RACE 5
| 3. Heartfullofstars | First off the claim and move up to allowance company a positive sign for productive Ness barn; veteran one of few in a race brimming with speed who might run into it |
| 2. Showstopper Copper | Could be speed of the speed; lightly raced sort’s only stumble came on the lawn |
| 1. Let’s Go Mark | Has shown up in some odd spots (over 20-1 two of last three) but keeps churning out good races |

RACE 6 – ON THE TURF

| 2. Call On Clara | Rallied to lead in latest before settling for second versus repeat winner |
| 5. Bramble Bush | Beaten favorite latest when throwing her head around just as the gates opened; middle move into contention but flattened out in the lane; has competed at this level |

| 2. Magnificent Pearl | Recent form a bit in-and-out but better efforts win here |
| 4. Always Connected | Has won two of three and should be near the front early |
