2nd race – (4) Fielder usually runs on turf but drops to a level where he should be tough on dirt as well. (6) Sandys Blaze will be a threat against these. (1) High Heater also moves to a level where he should be effective. Betting strategy: 4 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-4-6. Doubles: 1-4-6 with 1-3-4-5

3rd race – (3) Our West Indy (B) was bumped and then shutoff while finishing fourth. Deserves a second chance today at a shorter distance. (5) Shoug was second against better and looks like the one to fear. (4) Seamialaugh missed by a half-length last time and should be a factor here. (1) Alluring Rumba will appreciate the shorter distance. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-5. Exactas: 3-5 over 1-4 and 1-4 over 3-5.

6th race – (7) Mach One lacked a stretch kick in his debut but seems poised for a maiden win. (4) Alado was second in his last two starts and should be the main rival once again. (8) Cowboy At Heart could be a main player in his debut. (3) Weight of Glory might benefit from a switch to turf. Betting strategy: 7 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-4-7-8. Doubles: 3-4-7-8 with 3-4-5-7.

7th race – (4) Sunshine City debuts off the Gargan claim and should prove best in this spot. (5) Viva La Reina might perk up while facing claimers. (3) Include the Beast might respond with a big effort in a claimer. (7) Battle Cry fits in nicely here. Betting strategy: 4 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-4-5-7.

10th race – (5) Kasim seeks a third straight win and looks best in this spot. (1) Fulmini was claimed by David last time out and is working nicely for this start. (7) Nitro Time looks like the one they will have to catch in the stretch. (2) It Can Be Done has worked sharply since ending 2020 in a stakes and cannot be overlooked. Betting strategy: 5 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-5-7.
