1st race – (4) Captain Mercury was hurt by a wide trip last time. Should get a better one here. (7) Capital Connection was second the last two times. Three straight?

4th race – (7) Belzoni ran into a monster last time. Can handle this field. (1) Grantchester showed promise on turf. May also like dirt. (4) Damavand should step forward in his second start. (6) Barrel Roll may benefit from his debut. Betting strategy: 7 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-4-6-7.
8th race – The Indian Summer Stakes Presented by Keeneland Select (G3) - (8) Ruiva should welcome a return to turf. (1) Adonius looks like a promising foreign shipper.

Pick 3: 1-2-4-8 with 2-3-4 with 2-3-4-6.
9th race – The Juddmonte Spinster Stakes (G1) - (4) Fully Subscribed exits a huge win at Saratoga in the Grade 1 Personal Ensign and gets the call here.

Doubles: 2-3-4 with 2-3-4-6.
10th race – The Castle and Key Bourbon Stakes (G2) - (6) Popcorn is 2-for-2 and seems like a budding turf star. (3) Bold Leadership is a maiden but narrowly missed in a Grade 3 stakes last time.
