EIGHTH RACE

DRAFT comes off arguably her best yet on turf now returns to a surface she has handled decently enough in the pace. Price play if getting some help up front. DANCING STARLET has some back numbers that makes her a good fit here although did disappoint last time behind a couple of short priced rivals on 12/21. Hard to predict what to expect from her today but obviously can beat these at her best. SPECIAL COUNSEL and Dawn Lightning both step up in company off N2L wins, the former perhaps a bit more dangerous is able to shake loose again on the lead.

NINTH RACE

FAIRYLAND freshened since game try, near miss going 6 1/2 furlongs at Kentucky Downs in early September. Winner flattered effort when beaten a neck in subsequent stakes try. May have to run down the speedy DOMINANCE who faltered late against much better in Tampa Bay Stakes to close out her 3yo campaign. PASTIME finished a length behind preferred choice in their previous encounter and hard to leave out in current form.

TENTH RACE

ENTREZ ENCORE adds blinkers, drops, exiting bullet work for hot barn for return to sod. As good as any in wide open finale. INFINITY SKY back to a sprint after getting hung out to dry early and late going a mile while still good enough to beat half her field. Should be coming best at the end off that effort. FEATURE CREATURE another hung out from bad post going two turns last time. Good fit for this tag back at 5/8’s.
