Race 7 – I think it's the most wide open of the P4. Going 5 deep with backups and I think 7 of these have a shot at it

A) 3 Inside Zone – With any other connections this horse would be 2-1 WON
A) 7 ET To The Moon – With any other connections this horse would be 8-1. Should be a B/C on my ticket but I can't fight the power of Ness
A) 2 Cape Konerko – Repeat effort of last puts this one right there. Improvement gives him a big chance
B) 8 Coping With Us – Pace factor at a minimum, should improve now back with fellow claimers
A) 5 Move It Ya – Should be enough pace for this one to close - Scratched

Race 8 – Several AE on the sidelines that will change this ticket if they draw in

A) 1 A Wee Gift – Love 2nd time starters, like the turf pedigree, like the connections
A) 2 Be My Gal – Should like the slight cut back in distance and a realistic pace to press WON
B) 6 Indy's Ahyoka – Showed big improvement on turf last out but it may have been the distance more than the surface. Couldn't they find a better jock?
B) 3 Sara's Hot Shot - Added
B) 7 Are You Worthy - Adding based on Doc's recommendation
A) 8 Repent's Gem – Best form and figures but I have no idea why moving to turf - Scratched

Race 9 – Wide open race where I don't like anybody. I will take the 2 class droppers and the super trainer.

A) 1 Touchdown Peyton – Well at least he will get the distance right? Still bitter this horse cost me a P4 at Saratoga this year when he won that marathon.
A) 7 Roman Valor – Turf pedigree with a dismal record but has been facing much better. He could win by 5 or finish last.
A) 2 Jumby Sky – Ness/Centeno. Powerless to their magic. WON

Race 10 – Strong maiden turfer with 3 standouts.

A) 7 Conchita – Only worry is the slight cutback to 8F WON
A) 10 Lady Tiffany – No shame fading in yielding turf last out. Should be right there
B) 8 Bayou Jazz – Ran even last out but draws Centeno

Paid 328.40 x 2 = $656.80
