1 – TWO TONS OF FUN – lone MSW dropper and chance to be better in 2nd up
5 – SHAKIN THE BELLE – should be forward and chance to go w2w
8 – CONNIVING – most consistent performer in the race
4 – BEACH BLANKET – most room to surprise in 2nd career start
Race 2: 5 ½ Furlongs Turf – Bias: 10 Races, Stalkers, 2 w2w – PP: Rail Bonus, 2-7 Not Good, 8+ Best
10 – OUT ON BAIL – July 19 work of 4f in 46.3 is about what he runs in races
7 – PAY THE JUICE – best combo of works, trainer and breeding for 1sters
8 – NONNO JOE – back bullet on June 26th of 4f in 47.2 says the talent is there
1 – PANDEMIC HERO – can’t pass on a Wesley Ward trainee debuting in short turf sprint
Race 3: 1 Mile – Bias: 8 Races, Closers, 0 w2w – PP: 1-3 Under Par, 4-7 Best, 8+ None
7 – MALU – Linda Rice claimed this horse for herself – better ATB in last
9 – CHASING DAYLIGHT – GREEN GO horse – probably a big favorite and out front
2 – DUCKPHAT – only horse with a PAR level race on her recent resume
4 – SCARLET’S DREAM – improved from start to finish in his last
Race 4: 1 Mile – Bias: 8 Races, Closers, 0 w2w – PP: 1-3 Under Par, 4-7 Best, 8+ None
2 – TWO JAY’S WAY – most potential in the race, 2nd race improvement borderline par for this level – bad start in last, strong LS relative to these – better start and he can win at a price
4 – JAKE’S ORCHARD – sort of a MSW dropper – Flakes, but did debut at MSW 88 at Toga last year
9 – JANSSEN – usually well bet, Z patter in last, same of better in 2nd up – a couple of 2nd and a 4th in three at this level
7 – FOUR EYES – hit the board in 4/8 on a fast track – with top fast dirt speed figure
Race 5: 1 1/16 Miles Inner Turf: 9 Races, Closers, 1 w2w – PP: Rail None, 2/3 almost Fair, 4-7 Best, 8+ Small Bonus
5 – BRAMITO – sloppy track record – both PAR for this level – turf breeding as good as any in first grass go
1A – DEVILSGOTACAUSE – either entry can win, prefer the 1A
1 – INTERNAL CAPITAL
8 – SANDERSON – 3SP# increases, just needs a little improvement from last, strong works since
4 – IMAGE OF QUALITY – finally healthy horse, making 2nd start for only the 2nd time as a 4 yo – excuses at the start of his last – plenty of LP and should be mid pack or better
Race 6: 1 1/16 Miles Turf – Bias: 3 Races, all Closers, 1 from Rail the other 2 from 8+
Almost All Can Win
5 – SPINNING COLORS – top TOTAL PACE +8 for the turf horses

8 – MUNNYS GOLD – Irad stays here instead of the 1 – taking Pletcher over Brown for a horse that won three in a row – tells you something
5 – STERLING SILVER – of the better closers in a race with a lot of speed – should get a good chance at a great trip
6 – SPIRIT WIND – definitely going to send – faced some of the best competition
1 – ACCEDE – want to rank higher – but the horse hasn’t responded to Flavien yet
Race 8: 1 1/16 Miles Inner Turf: 9 Races, Closers, 1 w2w – PP: Rail None, 2/3 almost Fair, 4-7 Best, 8+ Small Bonus
Another anybody can win race

Race 9: 1 1/16 Miles Turf – Bias: 3 Races, all Closers, 1 from Rail the other 2 from 8+
6 – TONGUE TWISTER – another finally healthy horse, making 2nd start for the first time – 3w though both turns last out – better trip today
4 – LUCKY AND GORGEOUS – small Z pattern in last and all but 1 of her 6 races good enough to win here
7 – LU’S REDEMPTION – pure MSW dropper – it and the 8 are the only ones – concerns about the 8 – Chad Brown giving up on a horse in the 2nd start that they paid $150k for?
