Race 1.  Natalie Victoria runs well at BEL and is dropping in price for this run. You can excuse her last race because of the poor start, but prior to that she was in great shape. Langfirst just won in a NW3 for $15K and moves to open company for a slightly lower price. She’s run lately on the turn but has a win on the BEL dirt. Silver Stance is 5 of 8 at the distance and comes off a good run at SAR.  Primary 5-3-1

Race 2.  Nothing tricky here. Barbie Stones will have to close to win the race but she’s got the top figures and looked good coming off nearly a year layoff. Brooklyn Gal showed some speed last out and looks to be on the improve. Show River had a troubled start last out but still managed to get into the race. Much tougher if he gets out of the gate. Primary 5-7-8

Race 3. Another race where the ML favorites will be tough. Hot Dudette and Ducasa have the top figures and the top front running ability. Primary 1-2-5  Secondary (4)

Race 4.  A couple of Euro shippers look tough in here. Chicadoro ships in and gets the services of Christophe Clement as trainer. He flopped in a Grade 2 but prior to that was competitive. Texting broke his maiden at BEL and returned with a nice race against NW1X horses. Earring was and Aidan O’Brien horse that comes here after just missing in a G2 at the Curragh. No surprise if he comes home on top. Primary 6-2-5  Secondary (3)

Race 5.  ML favorite Imflatoutsweet takes a serious tumble down the price ladder today and that may be enough to propel her to the win. However, she doesn’t look like 8-5 to me so look for value. Ellenvellyn broke her maiden at BEL and ran well in her return in a $40K race at SAR. Rio Vista is another that has success at BEL Should be near the front early and could old on. Primary 1-6-7  Secondary (8)

Race 6.  Another race where the favorites are the likeliest winners. J. J. Jake and James Lane look best. Altesino has a nice workout pattern and picks up Jose Ortiz.  Primary 7-8  Secondary (1, 4, 6)

Race 7. Sunset Knoll was claimed last out by Danny Gargan. In that race the horse sprinted out to a long early lead but didn’t fade that badly in the stretch. Should try the same front running strategy today and if rated correctly should be tougher to catch. Voila La Victoire takes a price drop today in search of a win. She runs consistent figures and the last time she won it was at this price. Saratoga Smoke drops from state-bred allowances to this claimer. Switch to Jose Ortiz should help today.  Primary 9-8-5  Secondary (1, 4)

Race 8.  Buffalo Miss has run well at BEL and had a smashing win in a maiden claimer at SAR. Should be the one to catch. Barrier to Entry comes out of an open $40K claimer where she ran well. She’s moved to the Linda Rice barn since then and she is 29% with new charges. I Hope You Dance is the other Linda Rice horse and ran her best race when switched to the turf. Primary 1-6-7  Secondary (2, 3)

Race 9.  Just the Zip goes second off the claim for Gary Contessa. He was steadied at the start last out but still stayed in the race the whole way. In his previous race at BEL he ran a big figure. Much better than his 12-1 ML odds. Virga drops out of MSW into this MCL spot. He’s got a good second at BEL and two good figures in his last two. Tracking Stock comes off a good second at this price at SAR. Has a second and two thirds in three starts at BEL.  Primary 2-5-1  Secondary (12)
