Race 1      2-6-3

Call for the Clock is dropping from starter allowance to an open claimer. He’s 2 for 4 on the AQU main and 3 of 8 at the distance. Jacobson claimed the horse two back and he is usually shrewd about placing them where they can win. Cousin Michael has been routing for a while. He has had great success at this distance and on the AQU main, and has the figures to take this event. Bambisfrostyracer returns at the level where he had success last out should be in a good striking position turning for home.

Race 2      2-7-1

Glickman is the speed of the race and if he doesn’t break down he’s a high probability to wire the field. Love to Run should be pressing and can benefit if Glickman doesn’t run his race. Grandpa Len looks for two in a row and is another than can benefit if Glickman falters.

Race 3      1-6-3

Golden Itiz makes his third start for Nevin and drops into a much more comfortable spot today. Risk Management is double digit odds on the ML but has the figures to pull an upset here. Regulus drops down a few levels today; has beaten better in the recent past.

Race 4      6-9-2

This is a complete mess of a race so I’ll go with Theresa’s Candyrose. She has the best turf figures and with only five starts is eligible to improver. Traipse in Utopia takes a big drop, has some turf experience, and turf numbers that should put him in the mix. Gimme Jimmy goes first time with winners and should be in a good striking position entering the stretch.

Race 5      4-2-5

Lietenant Seany O was taken by Linda Rice last out and should be comfortable at this level. Last race was his best in a while. Mr. Palmer is another taking a healthy drop. His best figures would top this field but he hasn’t been at his best for a while. Still, have to respect. Tizmas raced well after the grab by Servis and fits well in this group.

Race 6      9-4-1

Another race where it seems like there is guesswork involved. Sakonnet Point has turf experience and the best numbers by far. She’s All Even hasn’t been on the turf but should be the front runner here and is well bred for the distance. Unspoken showed a bit of early foot last out before fading badly in a sprint, but she is actually better bred for the turf and the route distance. Worth a look at a pice.

Race 7      4-6-5

Jersey’s Kittens raced well first time with winners and has been working very well at Fair Hill.  Midnight Champagne should be the speed with the scratch of the 3 and has a the numbers to hold off the closers. Jilly Mac also ran well first time out with winners and fits with this group.

Race 8      2-3-6

Coltimus Prime was racing with Graded runners last year and settles with a much more comfortable bunch today, Coach Inge gets a positive switch to Velasquez and should be the pacesetter. Good enough figures to compete here. Bemata has the best closing kick and will be coming hard at the end.

Race 9      4-7-2

Gregg’s Beauty showed good early speed last out and should improve today. Myrtlerose has improved in both her starts and looks good in this field. Imposseble Dream was squeezed and steadied at the start last race but still showed interest. Improvement possible at a price.
