RACE 1

2. Jazz With DenisArrives on four-race heater and should be all by his lonesome in the early going
6. Summoning DenisUseful return to action when rallying into third and has kept better company, but recent lack of early foot a concern
4. Road SlewSolid on his good days and owns five wins at the trip

RACE 2

6. Cora’s ChoiceMid-pack type could sit a good trip with plentiful speed signed on
5. RainbowsnsunshineMaking short work of conditions thus far; first start in four months
7. Bali HaiWill be part of the early vanguard; only local tries have been at 4 1/2 furlongs

RACE 3

3. Prime ShoppingPerhaps a bit over his head on WVBC night; other than that, he’s done nothing but run good races since equipped with blinks for his third start, and leading rider Bocachica lands here
7. Defiant GiantStuck behind a wall of rivals when a willing fourth in latest
2. Bad LineageHasn’t missed by much in two tries versus similar

RACE 4

4. Mendys HoneyThree of her four Beyer figs are higher than the highest achieved by any of her rivals here, and she should be speed of the speed, too; if there’s a caution, it’s that 1-5 is pretty short in a one-turn dash when a bad break can blow things up, but on best, this miss wins here
2. SlewingHas a couple of decent tries at this level; makes first start since June
5. Mama MargeMaybe a bit of renewed confidence after competitive outing versus lesser gets this one headed back in the right direction; best fits

RACE 5

8. Need a MiracleDecent try in debut in a one-turn dash at the Big T before stopping in latest; cutback a plus and gets Lasix on
6. Overnight ExpressDecent efforts when spotted against fillies in dashes
3. UaintrightFirst-timer from the Farrior barn gets leading rider Bocachica up, but $25,000 purchase price suggests caution on a horse entered first out for half that

RACE 6

4. Beatiful KarlaNo answers after troubled start and wide journey in latest, but return to prior form would put her right there

RACE 7My Sister Pearl Stakes

7. HessicaTwo-time Cavada winner could make final career start in here; ran second in only prior three-turn try and should get a lively pace to aim at
8. Barbers PointSurrendered to Overnight Pow Wow after chasing in the Cavada; outside draw could serve speedy runner well in this spot
6. Change the WorldDistaff winner got favorable pace scenario in that event and may well get a repeat here

RACE 8

9. A Little Bit CrazyLate-running sort has kept better company
2. TimeisgoldenSecond in two straight versus similar
