race 1
#4 LOOSE ON THE TOWN comes off the shelf back under his original trainer(who has a few others today). His best would be good enough. #3 CURATE should be favored and figures also. #5 KOWBOY KARMA and #6 MR.CROW should round out the tri.
race 2
#2 MY BOY JACK owes me from Derby Day last year. Trainer had a nice winner Tuesday with jock. This 4yo has the ability and has been working steadily for this comeback. #5 KING ZACHARY was very good here last season, though he faced much easier.
race 3
Looks like a strong group. Need to watch the money flow before finalizing. D'Amato entry, Hess runner #3 SADDLE BAR has been working very well since arriving in Ky. Lynch takes over a bomb #6 PALMERS WAY with 18 months off, and Wilkes #1 AWESOME TRACKER should seriously improve 2nd time out.
race 4
Mott's #2 HIDDEN SCROLL should run off here if he is as good as anticipated, however he didn't show much from a good stalking spot in his last non-effort. #9 FORTIN HILL could figure if he runs back to debut. #4 HIGH CRIME could be the ticket filler and/or surprise winner.
race 5
#1 ENCORE KITTEN is my pick to surprise from the rail. Shug's #4 HUNGRY KITTEN looks to be ready to graduate also. Keying these two on top. #12 GOLD STANDARD should come late if she gets a good trip from outside.
race 6
I liked Hooper's runner before he posted. She won easily prepping for this @ Kee. Probably my top play of the day. #2 SPICED PERFECTION, #5 AMY'S CHALLENGE and #7 MARLEY'S FREEDOM should fill it out underneath.
race 7
#5 DADDY IS A LEGEND has been good to me in the past. Staying with her today. #6 PRECIEUSE should be around late, and you can't ignore #10 VALEDICTORIAN or #3 PROCTORS LEDGE.
race 8
Anyone's race--not as strong as usual, which gives ALL a consideration.
race 9
tough field as the races become more competitive. #10 HENLEYS JOY always comes late. Maybe he gets it today? Mott's #5 SEISMIC WAVE and #8 AVIES FLATTER could be serious, and A/S have #9 WAR FILM.
race 10
gooch got my attention dissing #10 INSTAGRAND, and I am not in love with him either. I just don't see any of the others as better.
race 11
#12 BRICKS AND MORTAR always fires, and this is not over his head. #1 QURBAAN faced better in last, and #10 TICONDEROGA has always been good to me if he can get up in time.
race 12
Baffert looks good from every angle. I like the probable favorite #16 GAME WINNER a little better than#17 ROADSTER. #14 WIN WIN WIN is my bomb to juice the ticket. So many others to use also.
This race card gives me a headache, particularly in the late races...
