Race 2 - #11 Anthropology (30-1) has a great grass pedigree and gets her first try on it here.
Race 7 - #4 Gamine (1-5) is a ton the best, #1 Estilo Talentoso (15-1) has a great shot to run second as the longest shot in the race. Straight 4-1 exacta
Race 8 - wide open race #7 Whiskey Double (12-1) keeps improving, #4 Defunded (6-1) blinkers off a s shorter distance for Baffert, #8 Dream Shake (7-2) was great in his first start and just not good enough in the derby preps. Weighs in at 1200 lbs and may be better going 1 turn here. 4,7,8 Exacta/Tri boxes
Race 9 - #14 Palazzi (10-1) was far back in a slow pace race last time, should get a much better setup here.
Race 10 - #2 Mind Control (6-1) ran some huge races without winning last year due to wide trips, should save ground from post 2 here and anything close to his best blows these away.
Race 11- #9 Ride A Comet (5-1). Has gotten really good as a 6 year old and done it without Lasix treatment which most of the competition will be trying for the today under the new drug rules. Also gets a few pound weight allowance. #4 Ivar (5-1) is solid and #1 Masteroffoxhounds (15-1) has been running ok in much longer races also without Lasix. Should save ground from the 1 post and may be better at this middle distance. Win #9 and ex/tri box 1,4,9
Race 12 - #12 Helium (50-1) very few horses try to get to the derby on their 2nd start of the year because of the point system to get a spot in the gate. He got his points in the Tampa Derby and has a 8 week layoff into the race. He won that race with a very odd trip, far back of a slow early pace then super wide both turns. Very likely to be improved here and only needs a little improvement and a clean trip. #14 Essential Quality is fast and versatile and has a good shot, #17 Highly Motivated also has a shot. Win/place/show #12. Ex/tri box 12,14,17
