1st race – (1) Detention disappointed last time, but has worked sharply since then. (5) Braums Run was second at this level and should be a main challenger.  (3) Divine Truth comes off a maiden win and will be in the mix. (7) Issachar may prefer a fast track. Betting strategy: 1 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-3-5-7.

7th race – (9) Ryu debuted with a second in an off-the-turf race. May get that win today on turf. (5) Ocelli has earned more money as a maiden than anyone else but tries turf for the first time.

9th race –  (4) Clarita was second at this level last time and should get a win today. (8) Ile de La Cite has speed and looms as the one to fear.
