Race 1      2-1A-6

D’Kennesaw Cat broke her maiden and came right back in her first with winners. She’s looking for three in a row and off her best figures is strong in this race. Nonnie Connie has the best figures, albeit they came on the turf. She’s also taking a precipitous drop in price. I’ll trust that Contessa left the horse in he thinks has the best chance of winning. Bella Fachi has been close the last few times out and occasionally throws in a winning effort.

Race 2      6-4-3

Eyeful ran decently in the Grade 1 E P Taylor first time in the U.S. and has switched to the Motion barn for her 2015 debut. She’s had a winter to mature, gets Lasix and has shown a liking for seven furlongs. Persnickety ran well last out at this level and with some improvement today she is a factor. Isabella Sings comes out of a couple of stakes races. Off her best she’s a dangerous customer.

Race 3      1-4

Alysaro is all the speed in this three horse affair. Lyrical Miracle drops down and figures to be the main competition.

Race 4      2-3-6

Pretty Like Me ran well first off a long layoff last out and should improve with that race behind her. Stonely Heart was ill-placed on the turf last out but has shown a liking for the BEL dirt. Drops out of MSW to this claiming affair. Not About the Nail should be picking up pieces in the stretch and may collect them all.

Race 5      11-3-8-9

Candid Desire showed improvement when moved to the turf last out. Has been a better horse since the shades were added. Shouldn’t have any issues with the mile distance. Alexa’s Spirit took well to the BEL turf last out and should be part of the stretch duel. Sonnyandpally is worth a look at the price. Making his second 2015 start at the higher price level and that is a positive. Northern Tripp does reasonably well on the BEL turf and is another making his second start in 2015. Improvement makes him a factor.

Race 6      9-5-2

Broken Border ran well first time out on the BEL turf. Looked promising in Florida and Servis is good off the layoff. Isthatallthereis ran well first time on the BEL turf and the switch to Irad highly positive. Courageisamajority looked strong in his 2015 debut and looks strong for a return off a short rest.

Race 7      9-6-8

Oltre’ Oro showed speed last out and tired. Should benefit from the cutback in distance and a return to last year’s form could put him in front at the wire. War Hero was claimed by Keneally and jumped up over his head. Returns to a more likely spot today. Wild Finish is looking for two in a row. Stays at the same price level so a repeat not out of the question.

Race 8      4-6-1A

Heat Flash was claimed last out by Joel Sharp who is having decent BEL meet and 2015. Jump in class will definitely be a test. Artie Crasher won a starter last out. Will need some pace to run at but has a win and a second at the distance. Glowing Ember ran well last time despite a troubled start. Shows he belongs at this level.

Race 9      5-9-1-3

Jackson N Leonard made an impressive 2015 debut first time on the turf and should improve today. Pioneer of Wifi also looked good first out on the turf and figures to be better with the race under his belt. Ack Feisty not particularly well bred for the turf but has a couple of decent efforts for Chad Brown. Brown is always worth giving a second look. My Friend Keith improved when dropped to this level last out by Mott. Second time out in 2015 should be an improved effort.
