Race 1- 1) Abaco loves a turf course with some give. Gobbled up a nice field off a freshening in last and should only be tighter today. Scratch of mate would add to appeal.
6) Decennial also likes softish going and should be a late threat despite outside draw.

Race 2- 10) Hidden Vow has been a maiden for a long time but has raced well for Pat Quick and finally is in a spot where she should get loose.
7) Twigazuri Strait has been scratched multiple times since last race. All three starts are good enough for these and has some hidden speed.
1) Wildhaassseee debuted for this price, rarely a good sign but raced okay with awful trip. Tighter today and draws the hedge.

Race 3*- 8) Flashy In Pink plummets after racing well of the claim against straight maidens. This is the scenario to bet Jacobson.

Race 4- 10) House Of Leaves switches to grass with tons of speed and should improve leaps and bounds on the lawn.
8) Gold Love Wheels right back after dirt flop and fits like a glove in this spot.
11) Theatre Queen is out of jail and up in class for super trainer and has tons of back class. Big shot.

Race 5- Using 2 here. 2) Platinum Exchange and 5) Whipsaw City. The former will be on the lead as far as she goes for super sneaky owner trainer combo. The latter makes meet debut for Chad Brown who's barn is more possessed than Linda Blair.

Race 6- 3) Mission Impazible gets huge class relief and should get the right setup. Huge favorite with just one obstacle. 5) Avenging Spirit is out of jail and up in class getting monumental trainer change.
Late Breeders Cup supplement??

Race 7- 1) Boots Ahead takes realistic drop but draws wide. Contender but will be bet.
10) Hobbs has beautiful speed and likes the turf. Threat if alone.
9) Mezzano is another grey Cozzene who won first turf start. Tested for class today but could be any kind.
12) Ampersand never runs a bad one. Barn on the cold side but price will be right.

Race 8- 5) Hot Splash returns fresh and has talent especially if a speed duel develops.
6) Freud's Notebook's last is a toss. Has won this condition in the past and has the versatility to be right there from the bell.

Race 9- 5) Justcallmemoni returns fresh and working up a storm. Anything close to turf debut wins this for fun.
9) Normandy is a very rare Firestone piece running for a tag. Late threat.
12) My Brown Eyed Baby's debut on turf was tremendous for barn that never has them cranked. Toss last in mud and figures right there back on the lawn.
13) Sandsarita is dropping off a layoff for no reason. Expecting this one to pull up if in.
