Race 5: 5 Furlongs Turf – Bias: Early Speed with and Outside In PP Bias
3 – CAPTAIN SPARROW – like the works, OCT 16th work of 3f in 35.2 is fast
9 – SEAL TEAM – looking at that OCT 24th work, 5f in 59.4 – almost fast enough to win this
5 – REXFORD – ran better fractions and was better ATB as BTN FAV in last, tr Philip D’Amato rebounds at 24%

1 – ONE MORE BID – Left Arrow Horse with +O, tie TLRSP and bullet work, Chris P angle to the test

wide open race
