1 90814 SKY TURN TO BLACK fab19 L Dorchak 4/1 Outclassed last time out, conditions seem better for this 4 yr old, assuming he can get the extra distance (his career longest is 10). Classic hard-closer should be running down the leaders at the end.
2 66655 MUSIC PHYL PLEASE bikeboy M Hibby 11/1 Stepping up in class, this 4 yr old has his work cut out for him. No matter what the distance, he tends to stop running in mid-stretch. He’ll need bigger numbers than he’s ever run before to cash a check here, but on the upside, his lone effort on an off-track (yld turf) turned up a solid 3rd.
3 85939 ARE YOU SURPRISED tidy4 E Martinsen 2/1 Very solid at this level (his last 5 ungraded stakes have produced nothing lower than 3rd place finishes), he’s got the speed figures as well as the tactical speed to run near the front or come from behind. A clean trip and an honest but not brutal pace will bode well for this deserving favorite.
4 16537 MISTY topicount5 B Obwan 6/1 This filly might be the wild card here. She may well set the pace, and seeing as most of the horses in this race like to sit just off the pace or close, I wouldn’t be too surprised (no pun intended for the horse next to this one) to see her take this one wire-to-wire.
5 107477 INVIERNO hornfrog2 R Zamora 12/1 4 yr old colt that’s been getting his best results at longer distances recently, is shortening up this time. If his speed climbs some with the shorter race, and this closer can fire soon enough, he has a chance for a check here, but those are some big ifs.
6 89045 IZAAR HOLLANDIA(IRE) racer64 J Caves 5/1 Consistent speeds, likes the distance, has handled an off track. Questions are pace, as this guy is yet another closer, and if those mid-nineties speed figs will be good enough today.
7 85058 ENTITLEMENT(BRZ) meganc C Maxson 17/1 A claimer in two of his last three outings, this veteran may have a hard time hanging with any of these horses. This one might be a bit of a reach.
8 91214 GRAPHIC SOCIALITE spcstable R Montanez 8/1 The ‘other’ filly in this race doesn’t come in with quite the credentials of Misty, but she has shown flashes of brilliance, including a 100 SF 4 races back. Still, I’m thinking 8/1 might be a bit generous here, unless she stalks a hot pace and holds on.
9 93148 BARB’S BACK HOME barbstable W Desantis 6/1 He likes allowances better than stakes races so far, and he hasn’t done well in two off-track tries, but this royally-bred 4 yr old has the pedigree and 100+ speed fig capability to surprise here. I just wouldn’t bet on it here.
