Another very good MDN group going short and have to think firsters Tilted Halo (Plesa & Paco) and Chipit (Pletcher & Castellano) duel early. Tilted Halo is half to MGSW Old Forester among other quickish sibs. Golden Boot (Md’O) is out of G3W High Button Shoes and should improve 2nd time out and moving to dirt. His half brother Buck Benny (Dynaformer) happens to run in the 5th. Salsa Dog debuts for Miah Englehart and is a FULL brother to Conquest Two Step who of course headlines the San Carlos later at SA. Working well for bow and GSW sibling did win at first asking at today’s trip. All this said, Centauro Star has been gelded since strong but problematic unveiling and has worked sharply at ‘GPW’ for return. Gets Saez. Deep, fun betting affair..

POST-SCRATCHES

6th: 41st Gulfstream Park Sprint (G3), 4+, 6.5f (P3, DD)

Very curious assembly with legitimate concerns about the major players with Weekend Hideaway and Speechify eligible for regression off mammoth efforts last time, Happy My Way seemingly past midnight and seldom seen/undefeated Mean Season an ouchy question mark. Unless Happy My Way can fully extend Mean Season, the latter will wire this if right. Any of the prices from the second half of the field appear capable of impacting the pay slots and I’d expect C. Zee delivers a career best second off the layoff for the terrific Stanley Gold..

Between careful handling and deliberate training by Motion to land here to healthy Rajiv Maragh getting back aboard, dual champion should arrive on scene in time.

10th: 53rd Canadian Turf (G3), 4+, 1m-T/84′ (P3, DD)

Have been a big Excaper fan since getting in front of him in BC Juvy Turf and here he is entering his 5th season of competition having amassed nearly $750k in earnings. Would love to believe he can wire off the bench but there are several pace pressers involved here. Jack Milton another I favored from the start and while he’s disappointed more than rewarded, was ready off the bench as a 4yo and should be well placed by winter’s crazily dominant pilot. Not ready to give up on Mutin after fiasco in the FLL last..

8th: 30th Mineshaft H. (G3), 4+, 8.5f (P4, P3, DD)

Hard Aces & Quadrivium are SCR’s from this so expect odds to be redistributed accordingly. Even without Quadrivium, there figures to be a fairly spirited pace on given Nates Mineshaft, Red Rifle and Street Babe all interested in the front end. Someone will sit an ideal stalking trip here with 6-1 Irish You Well, 10-1 Class Leader and 20-1 Cougar Ridge eligible at nice numbers. Tricky start to all-stakes P4..

Like the Davona Dale at 4p ET, a compelling betting affair that hopefully produces some Oaks prospects that get you excited. As discussed with Marcus Hersh on Friday ATR, pace figures to get zippy hear as outside speeds hurtling for turn generally prompt inside runners that seek forward positions.

SCR of J S Bach takes some of the speed out of this leaving St. Joe Bay and Hero of Humor as the tablesetters with Tiznow R J, Bluff and War Story watching the action unfold. Tiznow R J (5-1) is the ‘Most Likely’ due to his added experience at the level, but I’ll be basing my bets around upside-laden Bluff (12-1). Time and again we are seeing flighty Tapit offspring spring forward with maturity and once the light goes on, the lamp stays lit. Has advanced with every start and with another projective step, can make up margins he spots the major contenders..
