* TRIFECTA: 3,5/2,3,5/ALL

 

 
COMMENTS: NEWGRANGE has won three of four starts and is one for one at the distance. ARMAGNAC will try to take them wire to wire and has the early pace to do it. HIGH CONNECTION is coming off of a triple digit speed figure and has two really sharp workouts in a row. IL BELLATOR probably does not win but should pass tiring speed at the end.

COMMENTS: GOLIAD has a strong mid race pace advantage over these. If he can hold on for a quarter mile it could be a wire to wire win. IRIDEO closed with an eye popping late move to win in his first Del Mar run. A similar effort should be a similar result. HONG KONG HARRY has six wins with a pair of seconds and a third on grass. That is nine for nine in the trifecta. CATHKIN PEAK likes the distance with two wins and a second in three tries.

* EXACTA: 1,2,7,9 box

* TRIFECTA: 1,7,9/1,2,7,9/1,2,5,7,9

 

 
COMMENTS: BALNIKHOV ran the highest last race speed figure and likely builds on it in race two off the layoff. MACKINNON was better from start to finish in his last and has superb workout between races. CABO SPIRIT is less than a length from winning three in a row and never finished out of the money at the distance or Del Mar. SLOW DOWN ANDY has the top breeding numbers for turf and could be a solid value play in his first grass go.

COMMENTS: It looks like everybody is running for second behind FLIGHTLINE who is undefeated in four easy wins. COUNTRY GRAMMER will be the toughest FLIGHTLINE has faced. Trainer Bob Baffert wins at 33 percent in second starts after a layoff. EXPRESS TRAIN has seven triple digit speed numbers in his last 10 starts. ROYAL SHIP ran one of his better races last out and followed it up with a trio of excellent workouts.

* TRIFECTA: 6,10,11/6,9,10,11/2,6,9,10,11

 

 
COMMENTS: This is a wide open race. MASTEROFFOXHOUNDS has an early race edge that could give him an advantage over the rest if the fractions are realistic. TIAMAGICIAN loves second with 10 place finishes in 22 career races. HEYWOODS BEACH ran a big number in his last race. His past performance history says he could bump in up in the second start following some time in the barn. MASTER PIECE is likely to be the favorite coming off a GII win. He was much better than usual in the second half of his score.
