THIRD RACE

ETANA picks up a bit more real estate with the move to a mile and a sixteenth and she seems like one who will make good use of the ground, based on her most recent start. She also has class appeal as one who was third against steeper last out. BLOSSOM BOW is back on dirt after the turf start and her maiden win came over the main track at Gulfstream. She seeks her first win at two turns and gets good pedigree support for the trip Saturday. FIAMMA MAMMA seems best judged on some of her prior races.

PERFECTCOMBINATION has an age edge on top two as she is 4.

He also would seem best served if his race stays on turf this time around as he put three straight wins together over the local course from February to April. KING OTTOKAR is a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Free Rose ($410K).

TWELFTH RACE

FRONT LOADED is a consistent sort who was favored at this level and distance last out at Gulfstream. He also owns the field’s best recent Beyer Figures. WIN WITH PRIDE is another consistent sort. He ran second off the bench last out and would seem to have reason to move forward here, in his second start since February. He might get an ideal tracking trip, while FIRST AND THREE figures to be strong through the lane on the cutback to seven-eighths.
