Race 1      1-4

Storied Tale goes for Wesley Ward who is lights out with youngsters. If he lives up to his early billing he should win the race. Usually the one post is difficult for young horses, so her success may hinge on her ability to get out. La Nina has a great set of works for her debut and Storm Cat’s can be precocious.

Race 2      6-3-2

Rivetto has been with better in the recent past and his last race was his best in a while. A similar run today gives him a big chance to win. Larrytheeducator comes out of the same race as Rivetto. He’s run consistent figures and should be the one running at the end. Charitable ran a good one last out and Jason Servis has been hot in 2015. Looks primed for his best effort.

Race 3      5-2-6

Consumer Credit won a G3 at Gulfstreat in January and finished a close second in the Florida Oaks. The class of this group. Pine Needles won his first two for Clement and comes into this one off a short rest. Nice maintenance works for the debut in NY. Colour Party ships over from Ireland, gets Lasix (of course) for his stateside debut. Clement is out of sight with Euro shippers.

Race 4      4-6-7

This race has no standout. Rambam perked up when moved to the main and should be in a good stalking position. To Erin Again has been close his last two and should be the speed of the field. Hung in the mud last out, but with a better track he may have a say at the wire. S S Dixie should appreciate the cutback in distance and looks like he is peaking on his form cycle..

Race 5      6-8-9

William’sluckygray scratched out of an event yesterday to go in this spot, now off the turf. Has the best early speed in the group and competitive numbers. Despite the 1 for 19 record, I’m willing to give him a shot. Knacque looks like a turf horse, but has a wet track win on the dirt. Looks to be in shape and considering he was an MTO I’d have to think she was well meant if the race switched to the dirt. Fiery Cat just broke her maiden on a sloppy track and looks competitive for the first time with winners.

Race 6      9-1A-8

Be Bullish drops down to a $25K claimer after beating a slightly more expensive field. Steady series of works for this one and best last out figure. The RuRod entry both show high early speed so it would make sense to scratch one. Still, either is going to be a front running factor. Carolinian looked to be the better of the two, but The Big Deluxe has had plenty of success with better than these. Smokem’s Charm drops down for Charlton Baker. He’s been running consistently and has a good shot against these.

Race 7      3-7-4 (1)

Beyond the Green certainly has the name to be a winner here. He goes with winners for the first time but based on the figures he should prosper at the higher level. Swivel raced well first out against winners and should be rolling in the stretch. Bullheaded Boy has been with much better and should be competitive here. The MTO Fleeting makes it into the race and has the best numbers in the field. A real danger on the dirt.

Race 8      6-5-7

Accomplish First looks for four in a row, although the first three were 10 months ago. Dilger has been super bringing horses back off the long layoff and the horse has shown he can win off the vacation. Here’s Zealicious is 11 for 28 lifetime although lately he’s been having some trouble finding the winners circle. Still, he fits well and has competitive numbers. Bar of Gold looks for his third in a row but would have to improve some to beat this field.

Race 9      2-5-6

Devilish Grin gets fist Lasix and should benefit from the switch to Cruz. Wild Ham should like the distance and is improving each race. Kerry Boy obviously didn’t care for the mud and he’s a little bit of a stab, but the works say he is better than he showed last out. Worth a flyer perhaps.
