RACE 1
| 7. Shoot the Breeze | Troubled trip when beaten favorite in latest but has earlier efforts that win here; new trainer Joy is 22% first off the claim |
| 3. Racing Hot Line | Has been in the triple five straight, including two wins |
| 2. Raise a Ruckus | Main speed caught no breaks in latest and fought on ’til late in the game |
RACE 2
| 7. Yankee Doodle Kid | First-timer’s siblings all finished in the money on debut, including a first-out winner, and this one has been working fast and catches a tepid field; trainer Brown is 3-for-12 with 2yo debut runners |
| 8. T Rex Union | Could be poised to graduate after runner-up effort in latest but odds may be short |
| 4. Blessings Bestowed | Showed improved speed in latest |
RACE 3
| 8. Blue Trillion | Overcame troubled trip to inhale leading trio in latest; outside draw may work to advantage given lack of early speed |
| 4. Whiskey Wild | Speedy sort probably should have been able to seal the deal in latest after going well clear; may have company in front today |
| 5. Bali Hai | Gets back to best game after dismal two-turn outing |
RACE 4
| 6. Uncle Chinito | Didn’t run badly when on the chase against better in latest, and Marshall Peanut, who finished just behind him, won next out versus allowance foes; might be fast enough to take early advantage here |
| 3. Mr. Busta | Inclined to forgive last two, one for distance and one for sloppy surface he may not have liked; earlier form good enough to contend |
| 7. Pink Dinghy | May be a bit outfooted early but should come running |
RACE 5
| 2. Southern District | Made middle move before fading in latest in first in a couple months and has better efforts to run back to |
| 6. Gran Andrews | Formful sort will be odds-on in this spot, has five recent wins versus similar, and loves this trip |
| 1. Ozone | Has maintained form after the Butts claim and tries three turns for first time |
RACE 6
| 7. Aryaam | Could give trainer Ramgeet first career win if she can carry grass form to main track; gets Lasix on and blinkers on, and the price should be right |
| 1. Overnight Express | Runner-up versus similar in latest |
| 4. Sandi Sue | Improved try last out and gets Lasix on for first time |

RACE 7
| 8. Here’s a Quarter | Drops after pretty good efforts going one turn; owns a win at the trip |
| 1. Still Grumpy | Half to $800k earner Charitable Annuity drops in for a tag for first time |
| 5. Dream Street Rose | Likely sitting one-two in the early going |
RACE 8
| 3. Green Beans | Kept trying in latest at LRL in a race that produced next-out allowance winner Laddie Dance |
| 1. Romantic Warrior | Finally secured diploma after three straight runner-up finishes; lightbulb on? |
| 8. Hold Up | Makes third start off the bench; won at first asking over the strip |
RACE 9
| 8. Tangerineginger | Repeat of latest should be enough |
| 6. Firebolt | First dirt try at a sprint distance |
| 1. Our Lady in Red | Might have the most early foot |
LATEST NEWS
1.I’ll sneeze at “Shoot The Breeze”.mine is “Racing Hot Line” who looks fine.

3.”Whiskey Wild” is a mild choice but “Blue Trillion” looks like a million.
4.I may be a bit “Pink Dinghy” but think this is a Contreras exacta.
5. Barr is no star but might get in between the Farrior two.
6.You won’t “Need A Miracle” for “Midnight Express” to take this.
7.”Still Grumpy” makes me jumpy, Brown can take him down.
8. “Blood Brother” can take another if “Hold Up” doesn’t.
