Five Star Sweetie (4) and Aliens Last Strike (9) hit the wire ½ a length apart in last. Alien figures to have the jump on Five Star Sweetie again this afternoon. All three were above par last time out. Exacta Box 2,4,9 and Trifectas 2,4,9/1,5/2,4,9

2nd – Contenders Only – Star Trader (4) was closest to par in last and goes for Tom Proctor who wins 33% (50%) ITM with No Change types.

State Treasure (6) goes for Zweiesler who has had some success with Turf-to-Dirt moves. State Treasure had two magnificent workouts in the last couple of weeks and is ready. Exacta Box 4,6 and Trifectas 4,6/2,5,8/4,6

9th – Contenders Only – Ameribelle (4) rushed up to gain good position from PP7, was covered up on the rail throughout, burst through a seam leaving the far turn, got the lead and just hung, settling for 2nd in last.

12th - Contenders Only – Chamberlain Bridge (6) is 8-15 lifetime with monstrous win in last. Has a great trainer in Calhoun (26%) and a great rider in Jeremy Rose (23%). Looks like a winning combination to me. Exacta Key Box 6/1,7

13th – Contenders Only – Later Gator (10) had 11.60 final fraction in last (the best in today’s field) and is on the dropdown for 26% turf trainer George Handy. Lucky Leo (5) stopped inexplicably in last, and has earned another chance here. Win (10), Saver Exactas 5,6,7/10 and Trifectas 5,10/1,3,14/5,6,7

Good luck and good racing!
