RACE 1
4. D Majestical | Drops into claiming ranks and still has some upside; not asked for best in latest outing |
7. Mile High Miracle | Over his head in most recent try on main track; has done best work going 5 1/2 furlongs or shorter and concerned this two-turn trip may present a challenge |
5. Well Spotted | Beaten favorite versus similar last out |
RACE 2
4. Gary Doing Biz | Might sit a good trip getting first run on the two favorites; trainer Walters has a positive ROI off similar breaks |
6. Cruz in the Castle | Might lead or press #5 in early going; hoping for a fast track |
5. Green Gables | Competitive at this level |
RACE 3
7. Gericault | Up close before fading last out in first try on main track; connex slightly increase claiming price, and Carlisle barn has been clicking of late after sluggish start to the year |
4. Bajan Boy | Form’s a bit in-and-out but best would be good enough here; distance a question mark as best outings have come going shorter |
5. He’s a Commisioner | First try in Walters barn (18%) after limited success at Gulfstream; class relief a plus |
RACE 4
3. Noid | Should be able to clear to the lead in this spot and could be a handful if so; strong season for the Meehan barn |
4. Sargent Kobe | Easily beat similar (including top choice) two back; may not get the pace he wants to close into |
7. Summoning Denis | Makes first start after Shanley claim (0-for-17 off the claim); good effort in latest and show horse returned with a win |
RACE 5
7. Miss Shack Attack | Bombs away! Gets blinkers back on, drops into claiming ranks, and returns to one-turn dash; finished just behind favorite in here three back in most recent dash try |
3. Thundar Cloud | Consistent sort has been sniffing around a maiden score; best might get it done |
6. My Sofia Rose | Could be speed of the speed |
RACE 6
6. Brd Computing | Speedy sort lands in good spot to make it two straight wins |
5. Thank Ya Pete | With a couple of speeds signed on, this one might sit a good trip; best would put him in the mix |
9. Chochocho | Should appreciate class relief and distance cutback and vie for early supremacy |

RACE 7
3. Foxy Sista | Class relief after a pair of stakes outings a positive; most recent efforts good enough in this spot |
12. Determined Blue | Huge effort on Maryland Million day, but no next-out winners from 11 to run back; follow-up on turf was bland, but return to main track should make this one competitive in first visit to CT |
2. Special Note | Improving sort just missed versus similar in latest |
RACE 8
7. X Gene | Speedy sort can double up after graduating in latest versus better at LRL |
1. Carolina Sun | Finds lowest level to date; trainer Geralis 4-for-8 at CT this year |
9. Streetcorner | Raggedy start in latest in local bow and then was done with 3/16 to go; return to earlier form would put her in the mix |
