1st race – (1) Ember had a wide trip when third but can make amends from the rail. (3) Order of Magnitude got off to a slow and then rallied for fourth. Might move up off the claim.

4th race – (3) Just My Own tries Tapeta for the first time and should handle this field if she makes a smooth switch to Tapeta. (6) Bengala Joy was fourth on turf in her career debut and figures to be formidable on Tapeta. (8) Seldom Seen could be a threat in her career debut. (4) Kara and Colleen has been working nicely for her first start. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-4-6-8.

Exacta box: 1-2-3-4. Doubles: 1-2-3-4 with 1-5-7-9.

7th race – (1) Ocean Gateway (B) was second in his debut and should graduate here. (5) Imonra was third and second in her last tries and should be a main threat.

10th race – (9) Wand (B) had some trouble when she closed fast for third. Works out a winning trip here. (2) Amor Salvaje also ran into trouble last time and should be the one to fear.
