RACE 1
| 3. White Heat | Speedy sort has shown the ability to throw down sharp early fractions and stay on |
| 9. Carolina Sun | Will need a pace to run at; form a bit darkened by middling dirt and synthetic efforts, so could offer value |
| 5. Designer | Easily won only prior turf try but not sure what was behind her that day: only one of seven to run back has been in the money |
| 6. Romantic Story |
RACE 2
| 6. Lance’s Smile | Repeat of recent tries likely good enough in here |
| 2. Sweet Honey Bee | Barbosa gets aboard fresh off Maryland Million Classic win |
| 5. Quiet Dancer | Debut was good enough at the Big T, with runner-up returning to graduate |
| 7. Aunt Margaret |
RACE 3
| 12. Solving Progress | Led late in only prior turf try, and top four all ran second or third in follow-ups |
| 10. Madness | Sophomore already a three-time winner |
| 6. More Than Glory | Improved try in latest and drops to appropriate spot |
| 5. Enemynumbernine |
RACE 4
| 3. Buckin’ Dreamer | Notable that owner-trainer Shankle claimed this one back for more than she lost it for; likely to try to sit off a likely contentious pace |
| 5. Point Dume | Could be speed of the speed if he breaks well but likely to be pressed |
| 1. Order Ofthe Kettle | Late-running sort has questions to answer but should get right setup |
| 4. One Way Traffic |
RACE 5
| 4. Kendama | Good try at 38-1 while returning from a 14-month break; winner returned to be second a nose in the Maryland Million Turf |
| 5. Fierce and Strong | Never worse than second in eight tries on the lawn |
| 8. Won an Award | Just missed versus similar and has run nothing but good races since stretched out to two turns |
| 3. Ruse |
RACE 6
| 9. Boujee Bubblez | Showed speed on debut and more favorably drawn outside |

| 14. S S Sinatra | Good tries on turf and owns open N1X win |
| 10. Benny Havens | Closing on Great Idea in latest; that runner just missed Saturday in Maryland Million Turf Sprint |
| 1. Watch Out World |
RACE 8
| 7. Cataleya Strike | Time off seems to have done this one good; nothing but good tries on the main track since return and can work out a good trip here |
