(68-239) $459.10

Race #1

Dynaski – looked good in recent try over the hurdles here, right back.
Be Certain – just missed last time out in game effort.
The Price of Love – upset last time at decent price for logical connections.
Superfecta include: Bee Charmer

Race #2

My Cousin Matt (Best Bet) – gets the nod here in rather weak race for a Traver’s week card, back class points this one out.
Brooker D – three lifetime wins in 24 starts limits this one to the underneath plays, a exotic must in plays though.
Hailey’s Hero – rallied past second pick last time out for Finger Lakes connections, not a real strong group assembled.
Superefecta: Tenacious Star

Race #3

Above All Odds – showed speed on the weeds in last start, goes to dirt today & drops to maiden claimer for the “Chief”, dangerous.
No Lien Here or Success Fee – only one races; but both ship in from California for this rather easy spot with connections that are having a sub par meet.
Analyze Cat – returns after Fall layoff after debut in the slop, trainer can get them ready.
Superfecta include: Pegasian

Race #4

Live Life Outloud – Pletcher & Johnny V. send this one; turf to dirt & into bottom level maiden claimer with blinkers on in second lifetime start, what’s up with that???
Prominent – rallied last time out coming off layoff & drop in class, may have needed that race.
Key Trip – disappointed 2nd straight time as the favorite & third time in four lifetime starts, maybe today.
Superfecta include: Tinted Moon

Race #5

Beckham Bend – debuts for a tag from sharp turf connections, watch the board.
Mischief – drops into a maiden claimer for turf / jump connections, needs to draw into the race though.
All Verses – major money burner when Chris Clement trained him, goes for the “hot” David Duggan today, maybe wakes up?
Superfecta include: Westward Go

Race #6

Big Train – drops from allowance victory to non-winners of three 35k, could this be a “red flag” or just trying to find a good spot?
Chief Operator – rallied at this level last time out, 1 win in 17 starts the past two years though.
Intuition Magic – right behind second pick last time out after pressing the pace, negative jockey switch though.
Superfecta include: Rubidium (Longshot)

Race #7

Audacious Chloe – comes in from California after weakening very late in two grade III performances, class edge on this group.
Bachata – no early foot in last three races, this filly last year was much closer to the pace, dangerous in here to take it all!
Final Refrain – rallied to win going a bit longer versus lesser last out as my longshot pick, race may set up for her but loses Leparoux for Hill today.
Superfecta include: Medley

Race #9

Wait a While – dangerous if she’s at her best, especially on “firm” turf, won this race last year at 3-1 “overlay”.
Sharp Susan – could inherit the lead with lack of pace in this year, dangerous if let loose.
Rutherienne – kinda up against it with the way the race sets up without any speed, will be rallying late though.

Race #9

Offhand Remark – should be setting the pace from the far outside.
Fast n’ Sassy – impressive maiden breaker downstate, takes next logical step.
Sonic Sound – rallied nicely versus similar on yielding turf over the course, Samyn on the Green!
Panicking Petunia – throw out last in the slop, faced tougher last year on the weeds, major price today!
