2 scratches in the 1st race leave just 4 horses, but I absolutely can't decide which one is going to lose. a-mile-and-sixteenth on dirt, and most of the PP's are turf, synthetic, or slop. Looking at the few dirt non-sprints, and it seems pretty even to me.
Sticking with Blingo in the 7th, though not thrilled with her single dirt race to draw on, either. Gave a lot of thought to Antidote in the 7-horse 5th race.
Thanks for the good wishes.
