Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.
Race 6 8:25 PM EST)
1-Sound Judgement (5-1)-Winner of 2 straight will need her best. Has good gate speed which helped to get a cozy trip in the last 2 races. Should offer a solid price, could benefit from a fast pace and an efficient journey.
3-Chapagne Problems (5/2)-Likes to race at the top of the stack and should be there when the wings fold. The Takter trainee has banked over $360k and the race will likely go through this gal.
6-Luna Lovegood (3-1)-Luna drew off by over 5 lengths in its Elim and stopped the clock in a snappy 152.2. Dexter Dunn could land in the pocket and then roll by late in the mile.
Race 7 (8:50 PM EST)
6-The Last Martini (3-1)-Rolled the back-half in 54.2 last week and paid off at 9/2. This is a nice filly that has hit the board in 8 of 9 with 4 pictures. Last week was impressive because that isn't the typical plan, usually is racing with the leaders. Doug McNair has options and should have the Bako pupil in striking range at the top of the lane.
9-Miki And Minnie (7/2)-Came a good 3rd off a very taxing trip last week. Dunn left from the 8-hole and was hung the mile. The Chris Ryder pupil draws poorly again and that will help the price. Will respect chances, could be heard from at the wire with a smooth trip.
Race 8 (9:15 PM EST)
3-Maximus Mearas S (3-1)-Scott Zeron provided a sharp drive, took the short way around and posed for a picture. The Wallin 2-year-old is a perfect 2 for 2 at M1 and should get a similar trip tonight.
4-Emoticon Legacy (7/2)-Louis Roy left from post 7, landed in the pocket and rolled home to cash the top check. This won't be as easy but looks like a player and this post draw could make a difference. The Blais trainee is in a spot to get a ground saving journey. Has been around the money all year and may finally capture a big purse.
Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)
3-My Sweet Lily (3-1)-Will toss the last start, got a rough trip and was in too tough. Facing some others who were in tall cotton last week too, but Dunn gets the nod this time and has won 2 of 3 at M1.
4-Simply Perfect (9/2)-This looks like a trip out candidate who could be overlooked at the windows. This is an on and off sort, who might be getting better and could make the most of an efficient trip.
8-Beach Rules (4-1)-Zeron steers, he knows well, and this is the 1st time for Lasix. Has been battling on smaller ovals and should fit well with this crew despite the post draw. Has been taking a lot of action, and that may not be the case tonight.
