Race 1
No. 1 Tuscan Warrior owns the best figures in this race and look’s tough to beat. No. 2 Lil Chieftain is not far behind in the speed figures department. No. 4 Intimidate is the price play, as he is the barn mate of Tuscan Warrior and at 9-2 he will be the play. 4-1-2
Race 2
This look like a cold two-horse race between No. 6 Vastly Deep** and No. 2 Army Vaughan. Vastly Deep looks the best. 6-2
Race 3
We get a field of five $50K optional 3-year-olds in a race that looks like we need to hit the “all” button. No. 5 Zimba Warrior is in from recently folded Santa Anita and has the connections of trainer Keith Desormeaux and has brother Kent riding. 5 with All
Race 4
This is another race that stacks up to be a fight to the wire between No. 1 Sayin Grace and No. 3 Aidan’s Harbor. We will use both in the picks. 1-3
Race 5
No. 5 Owning gets some class relief and looks very tough in this spot, No.2 Uncle Hal at 6-1 on the morning line will be our price play as he has the speed to win this. 2-5
Race 6
No. 2 Oh What a Ride will be overlooked in the wagering off the voided claim. We think all is well at a fair price, No. 4 Pulpit Singer looks set for a big run today. No .6 Angelin the Harbor looks the speed. 2-4-6
Race 7
No. 4 Miss you Mom* is our price play of the day at 12-1 on the morning line. He looks very sneaky, No. 2 Augure is wheeled back in seven days by top trainer Jonathan Wong. Key play: Win and Place 4; Exacta box 4-2
Race 8
No. 1 Sacred Rider will be tough on the drop to this level, No. 3 Awesome Summer has run all good races in his shot career. 3-1
Race 9
$12,500 claimers go here with No. 8 Shifty Dancer looking best, but at 6-5 on the morning line we will need to try and juice up the payoff, so we will look to hit the exacta and trifecta. We will key No. 8 Shifty Dancer first and second with No. 1 Earnest 12-1, No. 2 Toro de Toro, who is 9-2 and No. 6 Zedekiah at 7-2. Key play: Exacta 8 with 1-2-6 and 1-2-6 with 8.
Trifecta 8 with 1-2-6 with 1-2-6; 1-2-6 with 8 with 1-2-6. Also
Trifecta box 1-2-6-8
