Race 1- 3) Lady Gracenote is up in class out of jail getting scary barn change. Should get right setup although will likely be closer to the pace than usual.

Race 2- 4) Lake Superior is a $650,000 Darley purchase and super siginificant that this one is not a home bred from stable that the majority of their runners are just that. 2 major gaps in works but all systems go in hideous field.

Race 3- 5) Sage Valley meets super weak bunch for this level and returns to level of claim spotted for betting.

Race 4- 5) Bakin With Cindy drops for Rudy looking for consecutive double. Right setup and much better than the Parisella trip monger on the hedge.

Race 5- 3) Huggy Boy swithces to turf fresh off the claim while never intending to run upstate. Popped and stopped on dirt in debut and should transfer nicely to the lawn.

Race 6- 7) Song Of Aspen passed tired ones in only fast track start which happened to be debut. Slop and grass in next four and certainly has by far the most conditioning in field of firsters and stretchers off one sprint and some phony speeds including the 4/5 moring line big beyered bust.
Runs them down with stone cold late run and will light up the board in what could start off as a pick 4 pool number.

Race 7- 2) Becky's Kitten draws well and should get first run at the pacesetters and can win in any scenario.

Race 8- 6) Sweet Cat's only poor result on firm turf was as a stalker going two turns at Gulfstream. Super nice horse that can win from anywhere sprinting. If she gets the front, put a circle around her.

Race 9- 5) Hooligan's Delight comes off impossible trip upstate. Draws better and drops and should make the top. Great price.

    Even mentioned this horse in the sixth race and yet, she's only 10-1.
    Can't see this one worse than second barring something unforeseen.

    When Song Of Aspen was 3/4 of a length off, I thought she'd win by a pole.
    Typical. Hated the 1/2 shot and still can't capitalize.
    Still, did play her across the board and the $11.40 show price fuels the late pick 3.
    Good luck.
