RACE 1
3. Sunshine Hazel | Speedy sort figures to be on the engine from the jump versus a tepid group |
4. Saint Grace | Signs aren’t great with this miss, who was a $37,000 yearling but debuts here for just $12,500; on the other hand, the work tab is credible, and she won’t have to be a world-beater to be in the mix |
6. Overnight Express | Has occasional decent tries |
RACE 2
5. Hardly Ever Better | Bit of a freshening after a couple of modest efforts; return to best would be good enough and Boca remains in the irons |
7. Gold Fiber | Speedy sort saw three-race heater snapped in latest when a bit outfooted versus much better; will try to control from the jump |
3. Missionary | Didn’t run badly in latest when hung out wide most trip and on the wrong lead through the lane |
RACE 3
3. Saffron | Not too far removed from efforts that would win here for fun; stuck with it OK in latest and may be able to be a bit more engaged early in this spot |
4. Balala | Solid score to graduate in latest; trainer Brown has a 2.00 ROI first off the claim |
5. Millie Jean | Decent try versus similar last out; short odds a bit of a concern |
RACE 4
5. Bee a Sky Beam | Kinda feels like now or never for this guy, who catches a modest field after four straight runner-up efforts elsewhere |
8. Iron Tap | Lack of early foot a concern in a race light on it, but he should be in the mix late |
3. Shaded Silver | Improved speed in latest |
RACE 5
9. Rebel Rebel | Solid score in debut race that’s produced a next-out winner; should be in front early with Bocachica up |
8. Joyful Kitten | Tough-luck runner has been DQed from a win and bested by a tough trip in last pair; may not get much help from the pace |
2. Itzayana | Should appreciate easier company |
RACE 6
3. Daisy’s Angel | Even effort in latest in first in nine months, now finds bottom level for the first time; interesting to see hot-riding Cruz stick around for this one |
9. Centimorgan | Greenness in the lane may have cost this one the money; if Balala runs well in race 3, that might be a good sign for this miss, who bested that one last out |
5. Tesoro Rossa | Blinkers on and Lasix on as this miss drops down; last was a bit better |

RACE 7
3. Kristinachrysalis | Might control the early pace but doesn’t have to; arrives off a win against allowance company |
5. Fortunata Italia | Deep closer makes season bow and hopes for heated pace to run at |
4. Charge Nurse | Speedy sort may be relegated to chaser’s role but has good enough form to contend for top spot |
RACE 8
2. Duncan Idaho | Looks for third straight win of ’25 and should sit right trip as others will soften up likely chalk |
7. Kosher Cowboy | Should be speed of the speed and will be tough to reel in if he gets loose, but he should be pressed on the front end |
6. Caribbean Pleasure | Speedy sort didn’t miss by much versus top choice in latest but must contend with ultra-quick Kosher Cowboy to his outside |
RACE 9
4. Peggy’s Way | Speedy sort might control it, but presence of first-off-the-bench O Shaughesy complicates matters |
7. Emberly | Likely to drift up from morning line price; best is competitive |
8. Ding Ding | May not be quick enough to establish early lead but has run some decent races just off the pace and drawn well outside |
