3rd: MCLM/$20k, F&M-4+, 8.5f (P6, P3, DD)
Challenging sequence that could approach $2,000,000 is complicated enough before factoring in wet weather that has strafed Los Angeles this week. Seems like there’s a window for this afternoon’s action but knowing that the track has been sealed tight for days leads to conclusion that speed will be very hard to catch. Watch the early double (6f and 1m) to try and get a feel for the surface..
Opener appears like cheap MDN claimer at a glance, but these look far from hopeless on closer inspection. 1-6-7 the focus of most tickets. With a few stretchouts involved, pace looks honest at the least. Miz Graycee came …

3rd: CLM/N3L, F&M-3+, 6f (P6, P3, DD)
Slightly tricky opener to $80k C/O sequence which centers around 50% Baffert-Shah dropper Exposure SCR’D who may get company on the front end. Can’t fault those siding with; Can’t fault those standing against..
