POST-SCRATCHES

5th: MSW, 2yo-F, 7f (P6, P3, DD)

After the 33-1 Forty Acres Wednesday in the MCLM, could McKeever have another live firster in #5 Harkness (12-1)? Harlan’s Holiday filly is the first foal out of talented $700k+ winner Ariana D who was a multiple stakes winner (MSW) that was graded stakes placed (GSP) 7 times including a narrow loss to Musical Romance in the 2012 Madison (G1). 7f a tough first out assignment, but sharp worktab at KEE, including 1:00 5f gate bullet (1/34), says ready. The ones that have started don’t look like they have front end speed, so her zip appeals even though short price types have dominated these Maiden Specials..

Keith Bourgeois has done well at the meet with limited starters (5/1-2-0) and #6 She’sagraciouslady looks ready for a good first start of series of strong drills cross state. Filly is by hot young sire Gemologist and out of Lukas-trained Grace Happens who had talent.. Keep an eye on Pat Huffman’s first time starter #3 Miss Spot On for next out as Huffman is terrific after his runners get a start in (4 for 9, 7 ITM)..

Best Value: #5 Harkness 12-1
Next Best: #11 Tequilita 2-1
Exotics Use: #7 Make Amends 4-1
Super Add: #6 She’sagraciouslady 12-1

Best Value: #8 Starship Zeus 6-1
Exotics Use: #2 Seeking Blame 4-1

8th: OC/N3X, 3+, 8.5f (P3, DD)

Fascinating group of hard hitters with 4 making first starts in new barns. Tale of Life SCR’D wins with anything close to his spring meet effort at the same trip. Grande Shores is among the most accomplished, but 8.5f is his outer limit. Raagheb goes 1st/CLM for MNR outfit that has gaudy stats with new stock..

SCR of Tale of Life jumbles this event badly..
