* EXACTA: 1/4,5

* TRIFECTA: 1/4,5/3,4,5

 

 
COMMENTS: LIFE IS GOOD has smashed just about every field he has faced. This could be the weakest field he has seen since his maiden win. INFORMATIVE is a highly consistent horse with some very strong works between races. KEEPMEINMIND has some of the most late run in this group. If he is close coming out of the turn he might run them down. THOMAS SHELBY will probably chase LIFE IS GOOD all the way around the track as the copilot.

COMMENTS: BE YOUR BEST has made easy work of the competition in her first two races. She improved nicely in race number two and could continue that path today. FREE LOOK should be among those running the hardest and fastest at the end. ALLURING ANGEL ran a mild Z pattern in her last race which is usually followed by a strong outing next out. IM JUST KIDDIN has been the betting favorite in both her races and looks to benefit from extra distance today.

COMMENTS: THIN WHITE DUKE should have a lot of pace to chase and close at the wire. DANCING BUCK has plenty of giddy up and go when the gates open and a fast workout says he will likely be blazing again today. CHEWING GUM has upped his performance significantly in his last pair of second starts after a layoff. ARZAK ran his best race last out but not by so much that regression is a big worry.

COMMENTS: VERIFYING could be one to watch on the 2023 Kentucky Derby trail if he builds on his debut. CHAMPIONS DREAM let off the gas late in his debut after smoking a field on nine. His recent workouts say he will be flying again. GULFPORT has been an even money favorite or less in each of his four races. TOP RECRUIT really exploded in performance winning his last. He too has workouts since that suggest another major effort here.
