2^nd race [NY, Md Sp Wt, 1 mi] – (6) Eagle Rising returns from a May layoff with a pace-pressing second-place finish in April that would win against these NY-breds. (2) Our Preferred Pal has a pair of races in the spring that make him a serious contender. (1) Full Pour comes back from a May layoff when she finished third twice. (4) Lady Delilah moved from turf to dirt and finished second twice this winter.

3^rd race [Clm 50000B, 6 ½ F] – (6) Shadyside (C) was bet down from 12-1 to 9-1 in November and made an eight-wide closing move to finish second. She gets first-time Lasix.

(4) Princess Ny was claimed in November for $40,000 at Churchill Downs and will now make her first start for Linda Rice. (1) In Awe of Juju gets blinkers off after showing early speed in her last two races and comes back in 18 days.

4^th race [OC 16k/SAL 10K, 6F] – (2) Best Impression was a winner a week ago at Aqueduct for a $12,500 tag for a barn that has suddenly gotten hot after a very long dry spell. (6) Echo in Eternity was a winner for $10,000 in November which gets her into this spot as a starter allowance. Last time she was second in a $16,000 race. (7) Maggie T has a few top three finishes while running for either $10,000 or $12,500 recently. (1) Problematica will make her third start in two weeks and was claimed for $12,500 a week ago.

5^th race [Moc 75000C, 6 ½ F] – (3) Frankie Coffeecake finished second in his debut at Parx Racing at 7-2 in a maiden special. (7) Two Ducks moved from turf to dirt and flashed early speed going a mile while in for a $35,000 tag. (8) B Raging On moved from turf to dirt, changed barns, and blinkers come off after showing some early speed on a muddy and sealed track. (2) Slay Sadie Slay makes her second start for a trainer that usually races his maidens into shape.
