RACE 1
| 4. Moonshine Mama | Drawn better after wide journey in latest in return to one-turn distance |
| 6. Groom the House | OK works for a first-timer by Limehouse (12% first starters) out of a mare who won five times |
| 3. Runaway Gold | A little sluggish leaving the gate in latest, but that’s been an ongoing problem, and one that’s deadly going 4 1/2 furlongs |
RACE 2
| 7. Lucago | Willing in first local try and first at 4 1/2 furlongs |
| 3. Shanghai Warrior | Major class drop after not-terrible outing in starter company at 92-1; third off the bench |
| 1. Gold Fiber | Speed from the rail and is the lone runner entering off a win |
RACE 3
| 6. Antonacci Girl | $80,000 Bolt d’Oro filly makes bow after some decent works at LRL; trainer Farrior is 12-for-40 (30%) with debut runners in special weight company at CT |
| 7. Mudslide | Dueled willingly with winner in latest, and a repeat would make her tough here |
| 4. Madam Senator | Sire Bandbox a solid record with debut runners (16%), but dam was winless |
RACE 4
| 5. Addy Mae | Lightly raced sort was competitive versus similar previously and has better efforts to run back to |
| 1. Bit of Blessings | Lightbulb may have gone on as this mare followed up her first win with her first second; repeat puts her on the board |
| 4. Machen Mayhem | Makes first local start and first in for a tag, though trainer Baird, who has a good record at MNR, is just 1-for-21 at CT |
RACE 5
| 3. Penguin Parade | Caught no breaks in latest when pressed throughout and stuck with it well enough; slightly easier group today a plus and trainer’s go-to rider Bocachica lands here |
| 4. Rocket Appeal | Good try in latest when finishing ahead of top choice but could not ride good trip to the winner’s circle; usually runs pretty well, but it’s been a while since he won |
| 9. Neverpopthecork | Away since November and hung out wide, but nicely beat similar in latest outing |
RACE 6
| 6. Sea of Tranquility | Took the worst of the trip in latest when wide around the first turn and exchanging bumps with a rival in the lane; lightly raced sort still has some upside |
| 5. Callisto’s Brigade | Sure does love to finish second |
| 2. Destin’s Rainbow | Speedy sort may try to wire ’em and nearly did in latest; added half-furlong may not do him any favors |

RACE 7
| 1. Radar Alert | Added ground seems to have done this one a lot of good, and winner of latest was 2-5 after losing by three in a LRL allowance; makes third start off the bench |
| 2. Main Line Cipher | Didn’t miss by much in latest after exchanging bumps with winner in the lane; gets leading rider Bocachica in the irons |
| 7. Rock Anna Roll | Has win and a couple seconds locally; makes first start off the bench, but trainer Stites is 4-for-9 off similar breaks at CT; best contends |
RACE 8
| 5. Vino From Ernies | Beaten fave in latest gets blinkers on for first start after Jackson claim; best efforts win here |
| 8. Most Unusual Day | Jockey Araujo chooses this speedster over trainer’s other runner; likely to look for the front early |
| 7. Cortado | Doesn’t win much but closer likely to land in bottom of exotics |
| 11. When Your Strange | Live if drawing in |
