RACE 1

2. RezquiaGood try in latest behind now-five-time winner and drops a step in company
1. Vino From ErniesSecond off the bench and has better tries to run back to
4. Titian TyrantTrainer Robb wins at a 26% clip at CT

RACE 2

5. Maltese RoseTwo of three that beat her in latest entered with four wins – won’t see anything like that here
3. Joyful KittenSwitches into Figgins barn (29% with positive ROI on trainer switch); if this one drifts up at all, could end up being the value in this field
6. SaffronLast couple aren’t great but prior form would win here

RACE 3

4. Powered by LoveMight be speed of the speed; just missed versus similar two back and shows a bullet move in preparation for this Feb. 5
1. Just Call Me AlCutback to one-turn dash seems to have been just what the doc ordered
7. EvanescoMakes season bow

RACE 4

5. Runaway BeautyHighest upside of the group; last was a clunker, but return to prior form would win here; makes second start off the bench
3. KristinachrysalisSpeedy sort makes first start in Murdock barn (3-for-5 first off the claim moving from claiming to allowance)
2. XantheDecent try in latest and makes third off the bench

RACE 5

1. Felicias CincoSibs have done best work going 6 1/2 to 7 furlongs, and it feels notable that rider Reynolds rode both Grams trainees last out but chooses this one
5. GimmethatsugarImproving sort didn’t miss by much in latest
6. Renegade RabbitMight be main speed in here and is drawn outside others with lick; last better than it looks after prevailing over dueling rival

RACE 6

2. NocashrefundsRarely wins, and you wouldn’t want to take lower odds than the morning line, but should sit an ideal trip with speed inside and outside
7. Break the ChainsJust missed against similar last out but the pace scenario is complicated by inside speed
6. Kaylee’s SpitfireNot unlike our top choice, this one could get a pace to run at

RACE 7

8. Play It LoudDidn’t miss by much in latest and galloped out in front despite wide trip around second; note rider Latchman chooses this one over last-out winner Jungle Beast
6. Muad’dibMillionaire ended ’24 in top form and looks to continue into eight-year-old season; returned from the bench to win just about a year ago and would be no surprise
2. Sarah’s Candy CampSpeed of the speed gets blinkers on

RACE 8

3. GericaultImproved speed figs in three straight and should sit a great trip on the lead or just off in a race light on early foot
7. Coronation TimeHas run well in last two local starts and makes second start in solid Reynolds barn
5. Secret SoulmateOne of the most unusual past performances you’ll see: claimed away from current owner more than two years ago, now shows up back with him after seven straight jumps tries over two seasons
