Race 1
3 Canterbury Lady (9/2 ml)
Figures to improve in second start for Baird. Showed improved early zip
in last.
1 Song of the Siren (12/1 ml)
Seemed to like the synthetic surface a little better, but this mare may
improvement in first start for Johnson as this race is weak even for 5K
maiden claimers.
4 Chaissai La Femme ( 5/2 ml)
Minor award specialist. Tried different tactics in last out. Figures to lay off the pace and run one paced for the pieces.
The Play: Exacta box 1-3-4, Win on #3 at 3/1 or better.
Race 2 (If on turf)
5 Fist of the Fleet (3/5 ml)
Looks to be too quick for this group.
2 Seeking The Honey (5/1 ml)
Consistent mare is 5/6 itm on turf. Could get up, but don't know if she has the early foot to keep up with the #5.
3 Versary (30/1 ml)
Bombs away for Ganpath if this mare can improve for 1st on turf. Does show some hidden turf breeding.
The play: Exacta 5,2 / 3 and 3 / 5,2
Race 3 ---PASS
Lots of speed among the 2,6,7. Your guess is as good as mine.
Race 4
4 Girls Image (2/1 ml)
Amoss filly looks to be very tough. Don't know what went wrong at Pid but she's entered right back so no concern for me.
1 Elizabeth's Dream (12/1 ml)
This filly has the ability to rate and Johnson is more than capable off the layoff.
2 She's a Minardi (6/1 ml)
4 yo filly showed improvement earlier this year and was placed ambitiously in return after 2 month layoff. She was used up after setting rapid fractions and returns to the dirt today. Should be winging it early.
The Play: Ex box 1,2,4. Also, key the #4 in the trifecta in the first two positions with ALL.
5th Race
10 Legendary Queen
Looks to be very tough in this spot. Went wide in last while making a move on the turn. Rivera sticks and have to think he will last longer this time.
2 Charge Due
Good effort in last after a tardy break. Wheels back in 16 days and this is the 3rd off layoff.
7 A Shortt Tour
Showed improvement in 3rd off layoff. Should be on or near the lead at the top of the stretch.
The Play: Ex box 2-7-10. Win on 2,10 if 4/1 or better.
6th Race
3 Flat Rich
Last was a sneaky improvement IMO. Wheeled back just one week later and Barria sticks. This may be a live longshot.
6 Lefty Lenny
Houghton seems to be Reed's go to rider. This colt ships from River Downs and will likely be a underlaid at post time.
1 Atlantic Rider
Likely post time favorite draws the rail and definitely fits with these.
The Play: Exacta box 1,3,6. Win on #3 at 6/1 or better.
7th Race
5 Kung Fu Slew
Figures to be closer up today and with a good trip could run down the leaders in the lane. 10/1 morning line is much too high.
6 My Maracas Bay
Like the #5, figures to get a better trip tonight. Would not surprise at all. Look for stalk and pounce.
3 Private Benj
Shortens up after running 2nd as the favorite at Charles Town.
The play: Exacta box 3,5,6. Win bet on #5 at 6/1 or better. Win on #6 at 7/1 or better.
Race 8
PASS--- #1 looks legit.
Race 9
9 Lovely Fire
Shanyfelt claims this one back and stretches back out and figures to stalk behind the speed. Should be tough.
3 Ura Wild One
Will probably look to take back and make one run. Should be there for the minor awards.
4 Quick Verdict
Same as above.
The Play: 3,9 ex box and 4,9 exacta box.
Race 10
4 Driving Miss Chelsea
Returns after being off since last October. Jockey/Trainer combo is decent and the favorite figures to be a closer in a sprint. I'll take a shot.
9 Runaway Scout
The obvious choice for Houghton and Baird will be looking to close late.
1 Summer Cyclone
Should have benefitted from last. Was very active at the claim box last year and could be live from the rail.
The Play: Ex box 1,4,9 . Win on #4 at 4/1 or better.
