Best bet: Race 3- #3 Jane Grey
Was a sharp debut winner here 2 summers ago as a 2 year old. Missed about 22 months and came back last time at Belmont finishing 2nd behind a horse who ran pretty blah here the other day. But, there is definitely some talent here and the fact she's back relatively soon off the long break is a plus. I think she sits a good trip behind the speed and wins well in here.
Longshot: Race 10- #2 Miss J McKay
Not really a longshot per se, but more of a best value kind of play. I think she'll be 4th choice in here which should translate to her ML range. She was very good 2 back. Last time she didn't have the smoothest of journeys and I think she projects a great trip in here behind the abundance of speed. I expect the perfect inside/out from Irad and hopefully she's up in time

Jane Grey was no match for the sharp Terranova repeater, but got up for 2nd paying $4.30 to place. Miss J McKay had the trip from hell, losing at least 2 lengths the first time she had to check and then another 2-3 when she checked around the turn. Rallied to finish 4th, beaten 3/4's of a length. Safe to say she was best, but did me no good.
