Race 1

#8 Psalm Singer has only started once but like her chances here. The Tiz Wonderful filly should like the track and the company. #2 Scealeile gets Rosario in the irons and the jock can do no wrong at the moment. The filly also backs up from 2 turns last out and should be sharp here. #7 Pistolera is also dropping out of MSW company and is making her 3^rd career start. Her experience should help her out in this one.

Race 2

#6 Strike the Tiger is a very consistent sort with strong connections. He is 8-5 on the morning line and deservingly so. #9 Fleurdefortyfour is making 2^nd off the layoff and is finding a softer spot here. #7 St. Armands turned in a solid effort here with starter company last week. He could land a share.

Race 3

#9 Miss Clark County drops significantly in class and comes over fresh. Barn strong off the layoff. #5 Miss Sweet Afleet has won at this distance. First start for new barn and draws Rosario to the irons. #7 Bye Bye Bunting has early speed and with Gomez in the irons, she could steal.

Race 4

#10 Timeless Indy was the beaten favorite in his last. He was close to lead in that 1 3/8 contest and tired. Has had plenty of time to freshen off that one and should relish this distance. #4 Mills posted an impressive 82 Beyer speed figure in his debut effort. He should be O.K. at this distance and expect him to be competitive. #11 His Race to Win had a bit of a troubled trip last time and should improve here.

 

$10 to win and place

Race 5

#7 River Lemon has strong connections and consistent form. The Lemon Drop Kid gelding is a regular ride for Rosario and expect to see them in the winner’s circle here. #4 Grandstand ran over the turf here earlier in the meet and finished a respectable 3^rd. Looks good for part. #2 Myhorseofcourse has the Beyer numbers in his last 3 starts to suggest he can be competitive with these.

#12 Film Shot hasn’t run since last November but the Mott barn is quite successful off the layoff. Her previous form is solid and like her for the win. #4 Godard has been keeping good company at Gulfstream and just missed in her last. Making only her 3^rd start this year and should be ready to go. #9 Which Market has solid Beyer numbers over the turf and draws Rosario to the saddle.
