Race #4

Storm Boot Gold (Best Bet) – drops to lowest claiming level allowed at the Spa, speedy sort will show the way.
Brooker D – second best at this level in last two starts, exotic factor that rarely wins.
He’s a Lumberjack – returned off of long layoff with decent effort, long time between drinks for this one.

Race #5

Ziptronic – a firster from Linda Rice trying the weeds, watch the board.
Double Domino – Pletcher and Johnny V. team up on this youngster, been working out on the turf.
Original Ray – turf breeding on both sides, may be a nice price. Superfecta include: Dougie

Race #6

Summer Patriot – a second and third turf marathon running, slight edge here.
So it Goes – even fourth behind “hot” Belmont runner; Willsboro Point in overnight stake last time out, may be a price again.
Giant Storm – with no early speed, this “dead” closer came from the clouds to break maiden here, needs quick pace to do best.
Superfecta include: Recovering

Race #7

Into the Wind – scratched the other day when race came off the turf, hit the board 10 out of 13 lifetime starts, blinkers off today.
Frenchman’s Cove – even allowance efforts out-of-town, drops to this easier condition.
All in No Outs – a second and third at this level, has yet to win on grass though.
Superfecta include: Najibes Time

Race #8

Rasta Farian – had a nice win over the track last summer, consistent sort may be a square price in this field.
Jade Queen – missed by a nose off of Fall layoff, last time she saw the winner’s circle was here….in 2006.
Carriage Trail – weakened in overnight stake last time out, can run on either surface if it should rain.

Race #9

Ice Cool Kitty – back in versus statebreds where she’s tough, all or nothing with this mare.
Talking Treasure – missed by a neck in only start of the year at Finger Lakes, won similar race here last summer.
Precise Lady – in the money all four starts here, closer can get a piece.

Race #10

Up the Limit (Longshot) – goes out for former Mechanicville resident; Chad Brown who already has two wins for the meet.
Sapphire Eyes – 5 for 6 in the money…but still a maiden, blinkers on today.
