RACE 1

| 4. Sleipnir | Very good effort when part of the pace two back |
RACE 2
| 1. Angelofcanterbury | Might control this one from the jump |
| 4. Abby the Bull Dawg | Been a while since this one tried two turns; blinkers off |
| 6. Divine Romance | Has better efforts to run back to |
RACE 3
| 10. DeSantis | Well positioned to sit off other speed and take over when ready; second start in the Simone barn (26% second off the claim) |
| 5. Sal N Louie | FIrst start in two-plus months a useful rallying second; added ground should be fine |

RACE 4
| 7. Ferrari Kid | Main-track-only entrant chased to no avail in latest; makes second start off the bench |
| 1. Hard Spun Fantasy | Stuck with it versus better |
| 11. Finger Roll | Winner last out makes first start in Deiter barn |
RACE 5
| 7. Suitefourfourthree | Compton barn having a solid meet and this one arrives at debut with a bullet work |
| 9. Lucky Flay | Showed a bit of speed in debut but was no match for Caprice, who’s been the dominant local 2yo filly; works since first outing seem improved |
| 4. Carousel Queen | Lost rider when clobbered by two rivals at the gate when debuting in stakes company |
| 6. Queen’s Wreath | Fractious in the gate and stumbled badly leaving it; ran on late |
RACING NOTES
- Jockey John Hiraldo had quite the late double. First, he and Super Constitution rallied late to prevail by a neck for trainer Pedro Nazario in race seven; Super Constitution paid $25.40 to win. Then he outdid himself, rallying on the Charlie DeMario-trained Kelly’s Party Girl to win by three parts of a length, returning relatively few backers $84.40. The double returned $441.30 for a buck, and the big prices triggered a carryover in the late Pick 5…
- Trainer Elisha Perez, who won Friday with Souper Royal Moon ($15.40), has sent out eight runners at the meet, with seven of them, including three winners, finishing in the money…
RACE 6
| 8. Speightful Sis | In good form |
| 2. Sister Supream | Galloped in latest versus similar |
| 1. Band Sweetheart | Will be running late |
RACE 7
| 3. Great Quality | Trainer Capuano has a pair in here but suspect the other one’s just using it to tuneup for mile stake in two weeks; this one should sit just off it after galloping in debut |
| 7. Chipotle | Speedy sort had a tough outing last out in stakes company, but connex liked him enough to ship him out to Canterbury for it; likely to show speed |
| 4. Williams Empire | Only two-time winner in the group |
RACE 8
| 3. Mat Matters | Should be controlling speed on stretch to two turns; offspring of sire Barbados win at a 26% clip in limited opportunities going two turns |
| 8. Darvesh | Formful sort drops to logical spot; record suggests sprinting more his game, but barn having a strong meet |
| 4. Amani’s Tiger | Always right in the mix |
