First start in 10 months but she has hinted at ability in the last when she romped breaking her maiden. Prat gets on and when Abreu has been live, hes been using him. I loved the works I watched and think she is ready for a big race from off the pace.

Long shot: Race 9- #3 Bolivie
I tried to make the #2 here to wire them and I just can't see it. I liked the way Bolivie picked up horses last time and I think she can take a step forward from that effort. She needs to find a trip here but I have question marks about a lot of these and I want to take a horse who I think is going to take a step forward

Both scratched with surface change

Best bet:- Race 10- #3 Hit Show
Longshot- Race 9- #9 New Ginya

Can’t get anything going. Hit Show broke slow and did no running. New Ginya was a bad pick

Day 14

Best bet: Race 7- #4 Unanimous Consent
He started his career going 3 for 3 and looked like he might be pretty good. He had no shot behind a dawdling pace in the Penine Ridge, just missed a photo for 2nd in the VA Derby and got the wrong trip, wide throughout in the Hill Prince. He’s a horse that likes to be covered up and is not push button. It takes him awhile to get going, but when he does he sustains his really well. Picks up Irad and has been working here since May.

Longshot: Race 4- #5 Champagne Poetry
Chad Summers to anyone is good for about 5 lengths anyway, but it feels like Ray Handal takes great joy in claiming from him and having them run well. She’s been in way over her head for awhile now, back to right spot, blinkers back on and will be in good spot right off pacesetter

Wish I knew Katie would send hard into a 3 way speed duel. That’s always a recipe for success

Day 15

Best bet: Race 2- #6 Stavros
Former Baffert went off favored in his debut in what was a pretty strong race. Runnerup returned to win and 4th place horse came back to break maiden and win an allowance at Del Mar. Was flat at Los Al last time and comes cross country and lands in Brittany Russell's barn. She's had some success with the former Baffert's and I think he's faced much better than he's meeting here.

Longshot: Race 9- #5 Sarah Harper
I think she will be a fair price here and gets a major class relief. Her race two back wins this and she didn't get the best of rides last time. Rosario fit her well two back and I think we see her best here.

Good luck
