Ramblings rather than selections . . .

Race 1 - #1 DISCREET FLOWER was outrun early last time by JOYRIDING, a filly on the move. She can escape NL2 jail with a more aggressive ride back today.

Race 2 - #5 PARRAKEET is the new face in town and fresher than the rest.

Race 3 - #1 STARLIT FANTASY flashes much the best sprint fig.

Race 4 - Nabu Morales will be picking from a powerful entry. #2 JESSETHEMARINE and #2A REASON TO BE PROUD are both sharp and ready. #7 COTTONWOOD CANYON has been competitive with these in the past but fell off drastically last time for new connections. #1 (POE) MIZZ WIZZ dropping a couple classes is an interesting option.

Race 5 - This is a dicey Ohio allowance at the testing one mile distance. #1 LEONA'S REWARD and #5 FAST JUSTICE may duel early. #4 OHIO GOLD would profit from that scenario if neither of them clears off. #3 KERFLUFFLE can be excused for her loss to Ohio stakes boys on the turf after beating stakes fillies over Cincy's grass making her a player for an outfit that moves from dirt to turf successfully at a 31% clip. Another "needs the lead" type #2 STRIKING LASS usually hits the board.

$10 DIME A DAY play: $5 WP #4

Race 6 - Half mile dash for the cash: Quick from the gate and posted outside gives #8 RAVIN ABOUT RICHIE a chance measure speedy #2 BATTLED who leaves from the rail.

Race 7 - #6 SINCERE DEVOTION wires some talented 2yo company if he runs back to that maiden breaking effort.

Race 8 - #10 ACE RICH has been finishing deceptively well and may fit here at a nice number. Today's jock TD HOUGHTON seems to bring the best out of him. #1 CUPID'S HIT recorded the fastest 6f time in this field last time; the old warrior gets a slightly lighter condition here. As always Morlona Racing with #2 TROPICAL DEPUTY is the elephant in the room.
