Here's my 2 cents ...
race 1
ZEN'S WAY (2-1)
CAMP POINT (5-2)
DIAL UP (8-5)
... ZEN'S WAY should over take CAMP POINT, DIAL UP will be coming late.
race 2
BRICK MAKER (10-1)
EVEN MATCH (12-1)
GOLD ELEMENT (6-5)
... This race is dependent on GOLD ELEMENT being fit. Layoff and negative class drop to 5k suggest problems, however,recents works and jockey Berry indicate he will compete. If he looks ready to go in the post parade then this raceis his for the taking. Personally I like to try and find a live longshot in these cases. Again, this race is a goodexample when physical appearance matters most. If BRICK MAKER fires early like last time it could be all over at 5.5f.EVEN MATCH should also be closer to the pace today and could improve at a price. Tough race if GOLD ELEMENT runs flat.
race 3
BETHYL'S ROYALROSE (7-5)
... hard to look past BETHYL'S ROYALROSE with much confidence. I do like Gravy's #7 though.
race 4
SING IT UP (1-1)
DUCK BLIND (9-2)
PEANUT BUTTER (3-1)
... SING IT UP has had trouble passing horses late (finishing). This race isn't expected to pose a problem.DUSTIN E puts blinkers on and should gun from the outside. He should engage BOLTON EXPRESS and they shouldback-up to SING IT UP to a degree. I would expect SING IT UP to overtake them on the turn and have a 2+ length jumpon DUCK BLIND. If SING IT UP waits to overtake in the stretch then things could get interesting.
race 5
JOCK'S ROOM (8-5)
SUNBURNED (2-1)
TAPALITE (7-2)
... no natural speed in this race, so if JOCK'S ROOM possesses any speed then she probably has this field over a barrel.
race 6
JOHN LOUIS'BLAZE (9-5)
MISTERBULLTOYOU (3-1)
POSILUTELY (12-1)
... favorite is expected to break on top. MISTERBULLTOYOU and FLYINGEXPECTATIONS should chase. I like POSILUTELY if longshot.
race 7
BID ME GOLD (7-5)
TOUCHOFJONES (1-1)
EXPECT HERMAN (6-1)
... TOUCHOFJONES is expected to clear and likely favorite. I'll go with Cabrera on BID ME GOLD.
race 8
PRINCEOFFIVESIDES (6-1)
PEONARI (8-5)
MAJESTIC THUNDER (30-1)
... DISCREET OFFICER broke poorly in debut and is expected to improve all around. If not then PEONARI should clearearly with McMahon up. I'm expecting PRINCEOFFIVESIDES to run well and I'd look closely at MAJESTIC THUNDER.
