1st race – (2) Problem Solved was claimed last time out by Asmussen when he lost by a nose. Seems well placed here. (1) Hodl Hard drops into a claimer and could be a factor. (5) My King Air makes his first start for Sharp off an 11-month layoff. (7) Four Dimes could improve off his debut. Betting strategy: 2 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-5-7. Doubles: 1-2-5-7 with 3-4-5.

2nd race – (3) Laughnowcrylater is in great form and gets the nod here. (5) Susan’s Boy was second at Ellis Park and should be a factor. (4) Suited and Booted has not raced since October but could contend in this field. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-4-5.

4th race – (6) Tiger’s Legacy looks best after a second and a claim by Asmussen. (1) Proctor Phantom has not raced since February but gets some class relief in a claimer. (2) Redacted has some speed and could hang around until the end. (3) Halfway Joking could improve off his last try. Betting strategy: 6 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-3-6.

6th race – (3) Tetiaroa was a sharp winner last time and can make it two in a row here. (4) Just Do Believe arrives off two straight wins at Charles Town and should be formidable. (7) Jr Miss Buttercup fits in nicely here. (2) Special Sauce should be part of the early pace and could be a factor throughout. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box:  2-3-4-7.

8th race - (9) Pagode missed by a head last time and can make amends here. (10) Stellenbosch is worth a look in this field. (7) Universe could be a factor on his best try. (5) Penalty Box could shine in this spot..  Betting strategy: 9 to win, place. Exacta box: 5-7-9-10.
