Nice group but Tiz Jeweled ran into some tough customers while searching for diploma and has explosive ‘race two back’ development pattern I love to spot. Clement at 8-1 suits. Walking the Kitten the filly to beat and draw adds to appeal of alternate key horse as top tab. Inchargeofme offers sweet Shuggy upside. Amnicalola, Play the Break & Quiet Business are exotics candidates..

Bravo and A.P. Indian want to get out of the gate and establish position and it will be interesting to see what Leparoux and rock solid W.B. Smudge do early in terms of pressing the favorite. Outside meanwhile, lead-needing Cinco Charlie most likely to be the pace-setter with newly blinkered Limousine Liberal, fast already, a prompter inside on his home strip. Alsvid and Ami’s Flatter can potentially be the recipients of a pace set-up..

Superb lineup for this post-poly resurrected G1. Mrs. Wyeth’s Motion-helmed Dancing Rags improved going T2D while stretching to a mile and now adds Lasix for 3rd career start. Bonus tote in bulky field. Out of an Empire Maker mare, 10-1 Fun saves all the ground for Wilkes while returning to Hernandez for route debut. Aforementioned Queen Bernardina adds Bravo and looks tactical behind the speed for Donnie K. Favored Daddys Lil Darling will have to work out a trip from #14, but pace will be there for her to chase. Dream Dancing and Diadura appear major threats getting on dry/fast dirt for first time..

Likely the best race of the day anywhere. Champagne Room has been the ATR ‘house filly’ from the start of the summer and move to Mike Smith is a statement from Eurton. Filly to beat but there are maybe 7 others that are eligible for laurels. With 2 one mile grass wins under her belt, With Honors demands a look trying turf for the first time. Maiden Mistressofthenight (10-1) looks OK stretching out after tardy start in debut. Baffert pair of American Cleopatra and Noted and Quoted are credentialed of course and remember that the American Pharoah sister was never expected to win first out. Zapperkat and Lake Time impressed earning DMR diplomas. Deep, exciting event that bodes well for the BC Juvy Filly heat..

POST-SCRATCHES

6th: Eddie D ~ 1st Division (G3), 3+, 6.5f-T (P4, P3, DD)

At the least, Justin Squared and his abundant speed could prove a hazard to horse-to-beat Lady Shipman. There is some turf to be found in Justin Squared’s female family. Why Two a big shot sitting behind speed and Mrazek intrigues first turf at a price. Full brother Pay the Fine was A-OK on the lawn. 6yo Ambitious Brew 4 for 8 down the hill and usually runs his race. Cuts back from a mile here, frequently a good formula this course..
