RACE 1
| 2. Loving Gaze | First try on main track and lack of early foot a bit of a concern, but has kept better company and sire No Nay Never wins 18% with dirt sprinters |
| 1. Point Unlimited | Addition of Lasix seems to have moved this one up and gets blinkers on after decent tries |
| 5. Dancing Dakotah | Has kept better company |
RACE 2
| 5. Love the Sauce | Only bad race came when over her head in allowance company; show horse from latest came back to win, and this miss should be one-two early while drawn outside other speed |
| 4. Crackalacking | Best might be good enough and should be part of early pace |
| 7. Bobbi Two Steps | If top pair wear each other out, this one could be beneficiary |
RACE 3
| 5. Remys Showtime | Packed it in late in latest behind runaway winner, but not far removed from a win against similar; looks for stalk-and-pounce trip |
| 8. Change Your Luck | Likely speed of the speed arrives off a win |
| 4. River Crosroad Rvf | Galloped against similar last out, though that was more than two months ago; trainer Runco 19% in similar circumstances |
RACE 4
| 7. Ray of Sunshine | First-timer for the Contreras barn has been working fast for debut; when posting 2/8 bullet, next-fastest was 37 flat, and when second-fastest 2/15, bullet work belonged to speedy sprinter Pork Chop Pete |
| 6. Dembe Zuma | Dials back to one-turn trip at which he’s run well |
| 1. Charlienite | Had excuses in debut when suffering through troubled opening half-furlong |
RACE 5
| 1. Roark | Widest throughout in first try versus winners |
| 2. Callisto’s Brigade | Loves to fill out the exacta; beaten favorite in latest |
| 6. Destin’s Rainbow | Gets back to company and trip he wants |
RACE 6
| 2. Store Sale | Decent debut when a clear third at this level; price should be right |
| 5. Blessednotlucky | Makes first start of the season after poor outing to close ’24; best contends, but he has lost here four times at even-money or less |
| 4. Stay Frosty | Your guess is as good as mine; runner who’s seen maidens from $150,000 down to $7,500 should be competitive with these |
