4. ItzayanaBroke a beat slow in debut outing but ran on willingly
2. SherunsthistownHalf-sis to a graded stakes winner; barn has been in the money with five of six first-time starters

RACE 2

3. KapadokyaShould be a forward factor from the jump; makes first start in Farrior barn (28% off the switch)
5. Whiskey WildFlashed early talent, but last three aren’t great
6. My Sister ClurrieMakes third start off the bench and fits with these

RACE 3

8. Seattle PrinceHas kept better company, and best is good enough; you’ll need value, though, as trainer Craig is 0-for-22 off similar layoffs
4. Christopher’sheartFirst off the claim for Hanagan (14%)
5. Shiney GhostThird start off the bench

RACE 4

8. Shoot the BreezeEasily handled two-life company in latest when dropped into claiming ranks; should be perched off the speed today
2. GreatandgoodDidn’t miss by much versus better last out
7. My Buddy DuaneWell clear of the rest when beaten favorite and arrives in good form (three straight in the exacta)

RACE 5

8. TangerinegingerLightly raced filly makes first try for trainer Reynolds and gets blinkers on
2. Love the SauceFirst-timer looms a presence in this middling field, but expected short odds might be tough to stomach
5. Saint DevereauxShowed good early foot versus better in first dirt try back in August

RACE 6

10. P MoneyEarned third win in latest in first try in the Farrior barn; two of three to run back won their follow-ups
5. Irish WarlockSpeedy sort may have company up front with early foot of Mr. Mox also here, but this one will be tough to reel in if he can clear; was cooked in a speed duel in latest, with top four finishers having been sixth or worse after a quarter-mile
2. RestlessHas won two straight by a combined 17-plus lengths
