Race 1
If this stays on the downhill turf course No. 10 Gallantlystreaming looks the main runner for John Sadler. No. 2 Gadot is in from Florida for Vladimir Cerin and No. 8 Persephone gets Drayden Van Dyke on the drop and first on the grass, look for the big wake up. 10-8-2
Race 2
No. 4 Hollywood Square takes the huge class drop for team Doug O’Neill as they wave the white flag. No. 5 Sunset Seven owns a big-time last work for this level, he drops and gets off the grass. No. 2 Implicitly gets back on his preferred surface. 4-5-2

No. 7 Kelly’s Humor is the price play turf or dirt as she gets back to a sprint and the blinkers go on. No. 5 Amuse is the main player on the dirt. 2-4- turf, 7 turf or dirt, 5 main track only.
Race 8
No. 9 Out Of Control is a first-time starter for David Hofmans who is sending out nothing but live runners at the meet, her works say she can flat out run. No. 4 Floss N Dab takes her first start for Peter Miller.

Race 9
This is set to go a mile on the grass. No. 3 Sellwood is in tip-top form grass on an off track. No. 6 North County Guy has gotten real good for Baltas and can run on either surface. No. 9 Jungle Warfare will like the longer distance if this remains on the grass, but he won at a mile on an off track, we like all three turf or off track. 3-6-9
