Most Likely Winner: 4th race, 2 Flag on the Play   6th race, 5 Royal Currier

Potential Price Horses: None

Race 1      5-1-2

Samus ran a good one last out but it isn’t usually a good idea to take even money on a $10K claimer. Not much real speed in the race and he looks like the best of it. Dariel is a first timer for Gary Gullo. Some nice works should have him ready to go. Westside Tapstress stumbled last out after giving up on MSW. Should improve today.

Race 2      3-7-1

Sopsa ran well in his AQU debut and has the best last race figure. Radiant Cut has been on the improve for Persaud. Just Catty has been with better and showed a decent close in his last race.

Race 3       7-4

Xixixi has back figures that would dominate this field. Hasn’t been out in a while but RuRod has been picking up lately. Private Irving A should be prompting the pace and shouldn’t have to work hard up front.

Race 4      2-5-3

Flag on the Play has three straight second place finishes. Been off a couple of months by Rice has been effective this winter in bringing them back ready. Reach for Yield comes back for Chad Brown. He is strong off the layoff and he should have the horse straightened out. Cosmo Blue has plenty of early and should benefit from the scratch of Sherifco.

Race 5      10-6-4

Dulce de Leche should be the front-runner here and is placed at the right level. Take Issue has been working steadily for his return for Asmussen and drops in price. Busted Handle improved substantially in her last start and another jump puts her right in the mix.

Race 6      5-2-3

Royal Currier ran a good one in the mud and returned to set a solid pace in his last. Drops a lot for his return and has fair works for his return. Doc Almon ran a big one last out and drops back to the level at which Gullo took him. Piquant was over his head last out but drops to a more comfortable level for RuRod.

Race 7      6-3-5

Deficit Hawk smashed through in his maiden for Violette and looks to show his talent in this state-bred stakes. Has the best last out figure. Chasing Bubbles won a NY Stallion Series race at the end of last year and will be in the battle up front. Has shown plenty of heart in his previous starts. Regal Minister is the proven stakes winner. He seems more comfortable at the sprint and should be pressing today.

Race 8      5-3-4

Conzig gets the nod in a generally uninspiring field. Second of the claim for Englehart and that’s enough to boost the horse to the top of this heap. Warm Front only has six starts looking for his third win and that puts him in a better light than most of this bunch. Kiss Cat should be one of the horses battling up front and that may be enough for him to get a piece..
