Race 7 - First race is a complete mess of rats and at 7 deep I could still miss the winner
A) 5 Angels Encore - 2nd off layoff, speed and fade first out, good trainer, like at ML odds
A) 6 My Monarchos – Beats these if runs back to form of a year ago
B) 3 Luna Princess – Improving pace figures so form cycle could be improving to run big
B) 4 Disco Bunny – Underlay at ML odds. Drops in class and added bandages off layoff? Not good.
B) 10 Borobeta – Should probably cut but rider change and last workout show possible big effort
B) 2 Jessica's World – Have to include the horse probably on the lead at 1st and 2nd call at 20-1

Race 8 – Very nice group here and almost everyone has a shot.
A) 8 Mooji's Sister – Love this horse here. 2nd twice in this company and on the improve
A) 4 Positivelycharming – The other logical contender but might not get lead with this group. Then what?
B) 6 Tenacious Gator – Has a chance at a price. Has run fast enough before and 4th in this class 2 back.
B) 2 Coffee Can - 2nd time starter with bullet works. Big step up in class. Can certainly win but has to be a special horse.

Race 9 – Nice field of turf goers here. Went 3 deep but 5 or 6 could win. OFF THE TURF
A) 6 The Lady Waffles – 3 straight in the money in this class
A) 1 Meddling - Adding
B) 2 Slickenside - Adding
B) 3 Speeding Fever - Adding

Race 10 – Some interesting FTS in this group that I can't afford to include
A) 1 Name That Song - 2nd time starter who was 2nd in class first out. Small improvement and wins here.
A) 7 Repenting – Speed and fade last out. Drops in class and distance and gets good jock.
A) 11 March Trend - 2nd time starter who was 2nd first out. Slight bump in class but could easily improve enough to win
B) 4 Proud Escapade – Forgetting for a sec that the jock has never been in the money, this is an improving horse.
B) 12 Mocha Blast – First time starter with sire who wins 18% first out. Works show nothing though.

4A for $2 with 1B & 2B backups for $1 is $344
