RACE 1
7. Lil Miss Honkytonk | Willing enough in debut despite pre-race fractiousness; can step forward here |
6. Itsaprincessparty | Tough beat in latest when showing improved speed |
1. I’m Flying Up | Likely to be on the engine early from the inside gate and has done best work when leading early |
RACE 2
5. Moonlit Kiss | No disgrace in latest when third behind Cavada winner Overnight Pow Wow in two-turn allowance; cuts back to one turn here and owns three wins at the trip |
2. Argan | Has mostly faced better, and Bocachica remaining aboard a good sign |
6. Remy’s Hotshot | Could give trainer Grams the exacta with top choice stablemate |
RACE 3
5. Diva’s Demon | Drop from special weight company should suffice to make this one a winner; might be speed of the speed |
3. Castle of Cork | Improved try in latest and makes third start off the bench |
2. El Morito | Another dropping out of special weight company |
RACE 4
2. Happy Clouds | Beat similar back in May and has exclusively faced better since, including stakes company and, last out, same-level boys |
3. Maggie’s Girl | Up against it in latest when tackling 1-9 Direct the Cat and maybe an inch better going one turn, but with plentiful front-end speed and sufficient stamina is always a threat |
1. Cut From Class | Won by eight in most recent visit to CT |
RACE 5
7. Princess Brandy | Second-time starter drops in half and shifts to main track |
6. Maltese Rose | Drops out of special weight ranks for first start since September; most of her work to date would get it done here |
2. Dice Arm | Blinkers on after a pair of speed-and-fade outings |
RACE 6
1. Addy Mae | Might try to mimic graduation romp by going right to front |
3. Sparkleinyoureye | Form went sideways before getting some time on the bench but return to better tries would put her right there versus these |
6. Philmary Castle | Occasional good outings |

RACE 7
3. Eleanors Jack | Didn’t make the front in latest and that was that, but could be speediest in here |
6. Two Bronze Stars | Claimback by Brown has finished in the triple six straight and could be vying for early supremacy |
8. Radar Alert | Drops into claiming ranks for the first time but keeps leading rider Bocachica aboard |
RACE 8– West Virginia Futurity
8. Im the Director | If he can avoid trouble, should have too much for these; blinkers on may help |
6. Bold Rock | Trainer Figgins entered three, will start only this one |
2. Bail Is Denied | Bested top choice in latest and has twice been the beneficiary of trouble that one has had |
RACE 9
9. Imperial King | Last couple aren’t his best but has recently faced and beaten better; drop from starter company could help and has been in the money four of five at the trip |
7. Silver Moon Road | Fits snugly here but beaten favorite in three of four |
6. Montauk Daddy | Galloped in latest |
