RACE 1
| 4. Just a Rainbow | Last couple aren’t great but may have a bit more upside than main rival |
| 2. Millie Jean | Beaten favorite when finishing ahead of top choice in latest; rider Cruz might send this one right to the front and play “catch me if you can” |
| 5. B’ Etat | Modestly bred firster’s last couple of works look ok |
RACE 2
| 3. True Blue Pearl | Draw a line through two back, and most of this one’s recent starts should be enough; has tactical speed |
| 7. Bonnie Bluetooth | Tepid recent tries but has better to run back to |
| 1. Matoula | Deiter barn having a productive meet; first start of the season |
RACE 3
| 5. Iceteca | Took a while but finally broke his maiden in latest; kept better company when last seen over the local strip |
| 8. Singularity | Outran long odds in first try versus winners |
| 2. Jay | First start in the Farrior barn (28% 1st in barn) for a runner who’s kind of an all-or-nothing proposition; might go straight to the front, and best wins here |
RACE 4
| 1. Full of Charm | Drops in for a tag and stretches out to preferred two-turn trip in second off the bench; could control up front |
| 5. Malibu Years | Best efforts contend |
| 3. Look Ahead | Lightly raced sort stretches out from one-turn dash; prior two-turn try was poor, but if she can carry her speed, she contends |
RACE 5
| 4. Caffeinennicotine | Latest work seems to suggest this guy is sitting on go after lengthy break; trainer Meehan 3-for-9 with a positive ROI off similar breaks; last-out victory has produced three next-out winners |
| 2. Defiant Giant | In the hunt four straight versus similar; bit of a freshening for a barn that wins 20% off similar breaks |
| 3. John’s Notion | Ran big in latest despite fairly extensive trouble through the first turn; inside middle move to the lead, then resolute in the lane in a race that’s produced a next-out winner |
RACE 6
| 3. Sir Alfred James | Classy veteran returned from lengthy break with an even effort, drops down a step here; any improvement would put him right there |
| 6. Sweet Soddy J | DQed after a positive test in latest; feels like this guy’s been around forever, but he’s only four; return to best would do it |
| 7. Buckin’ Dreamer | Beat similar two back in three-turn event; likely to have company up front if connex send |

RACE 7
| 3. Hot Dance | Rider Acosta deserts other Magee runner, who’s likely to go favored, for this one; bested similar in latest and might be speed of the speed |
| 4. Kristinachrysalis | Didn’t miss by much in latest versus similar in first try in Murdock barn; trainer is 8-for-16 first off the claim |
| 8. Love to Eat | Dominated in most recent visit to CT but note that rider Acosta leaves for top choice; Magee 5-for-7 at the meet |
RACE 8
| 8. The Bullion Bomber | Speedster should be in front early and try to take ’em all the way; return to better form would suffice, and trainer Mancilla 3-for-6 at the meet |
| 1. Unified Weekend | Galloped three back versus similar and returns after forays against allowance foes; mid-flight sort hopes the speed comes back |
| 5. Group Eighteen | Drops after unsuccessful outings versus better |
