Race 2

Wide open Md $50K race. With Polish is making her 3^rd career start for Ian Wilkes. She gets Lasix first time here and she does have a little early foot to take advantage of the rail. #9 Little Trickster should improve off her last at Gulfstsream. Beyer number suggests she can land a share. #6 Lily Olay is dropping out of MSW company and draws hot jock Rosario to the irons. #4 Owl Moon is a firster for Dale Romans. Solid work tab and deserves a look.
