ANALYSIS

BEST BET: RACE 7, PADILLA

FIRST RACE

COMETIN and LITTLE NO WAY should vie for major prize in opener. Former already a three time winner, beat older horses on the main three back and may get first run over his chief rival here. Little No Way missed a neck to three time winner Prince Tito on dirt last time now back to his favorite surface while getting some class relief to boot. AREYOUTALKINGTOME continues to hold form well from a Beyer standpoint and had last performance flattered with three of his victims having already come back to win their maidens at next asking.

SECOND RACE

FIRST GOAL no match for Jersey Street last time but not meeting that type today. Well drawn outside. One to catch. YES DARLIN a beaten favorite in last pair, adding blinkers for rematch with preferred choice. CHASE YOUR DREAMS broke slow, raced wide disappointing as 2-5 choice behind loose on lead winner. Shortens up to more effective distance for new connections off the claim.

THIRD RACE

SARANDA stretches out for third start of form cycle off pair of decent sprint tries to open career, looks loose on the lead in this spot while the only 4-year-old in the lineup. Could get brave if loose as expected on front end. JANET B DOESIT ALL rallied willingly off relatively slow pace last time and an improving sort who could be right one if top choice falters. GOOD GIRL I AM launches career off series of decent looking drills on both turf and dirt. Is a kin to 4 time stakes winner on grass Glenville Gardens.

FOURTH RACE

RETHINKME broke slow from inside, rushed, got shuffled when finishing in behind DANCING DONUT last time, might be able to get the early drop on that one, reverse decision as the better price with cleaner beginning. The latter strictly one to beat off last although did have perfect trip that day. BUN BUN should be along to grab minor share once again.

FIFTH RACE

CREAKY CRICKET one of two key contenders in this lineup from Klesaris barn along with speedy GRAN SAMAN. Shortens up to a distance he’s handled in the past, could get good set up from just off what may prove to be a contested pace. Gran Saman steps up off conditioned claiming tally to open company for same tag, has the speed to be dangerous once again in current form. GREELY IS BACK fell back a bit further than usual when off tardy from the rail, should get away cleaner from today’s outer draw. has been in perfecta 4 of 6 times on grass.

SIXTH RACE

TEA AND CRICKET facing tougher assignment today but hard to look past considering his marked improvement since changing barns. Will likely have to deal with equally red hot AFRICAN CHIEF who has been freshened since posting back to back conditioned claiming wins within nine day span in May. POLYGRAM no match for preferred choice last time but does have running style to suggest he can be along for a share.

SEVENTH RACE

PADILLA a popular item at claim box over the past several months, back for the same tag at which he proved popular winner a couple of months earlier. Catches enough pace to set up potent late kick. Should be along with clean sailing. HARRY’S GONE GRAY another who should appreciate the pace scenario but getting a class check stepping up off a couple of wins vs. weaker. STARSHIP APOLLO a question mark on grass but is a half to three previous inner winners and likely part of early mix along with Go Gone Gone, Southern Sea and Noble
