Hot List Key:

*C: Went down 2 or more betting notches in the final 3 minutes and finished 1st through 3rd
*D: Went down 2 or more betting notches and finished 4^th or worse

1st race – (2) Public Information had a wide trip and didn’t fire in a MSW race. Draws inside here against claimers and seems best. (6) Spheroid could perk up on turf. (11) Proven Innocent could also benefit from dropping into a claimer. (5) Girl Dad fits in well here and is worth a look. Betting strategy: 2 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-5-6-11.

4th race – (11) Bourbon in May (B) gets back on turf and should thrive at this distance. (2) Rijeka has a strong late kick and will be the one to fear. (3) Imperial Mission should welcome the added distance against this group. (1) Soglio seeks a third straight win and should not be ignored. Betting strategy: 11 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-3-11.

6th race – (3) La Signare was competitive in Grade 1 stakes last year and can start 2021 with a win in this spot. (2) Great Island rallied belatedly last time and should be a stretch threat once again. (8) Drop a Hint had a rough trip last time and deserves a second chance here. (4) Logic N Reason has some early speed and might hang around until the end. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-3-4-8. Doubles: 2-3-4-8 with 5-6-10-11.

7th race – (5) Democracy is a firster from Pletcher whose works indicate he’s ready for a sharp effort in his debut. (6) Buck Moon was second in his debut at Hawthorne and deserves some attention here. (10) Collaborate debuts for Joseph and should be a factor here. (11) Dupuis is another first-time starter who can create some noise here. Betting strategy: 5 to win, place. Exacta box: 5-6-10-11.

10th race – (10) Higher Quality has put in some solid drills and seems ready for a big ready in his first start. (2) Tallis begins his career for Pletcher and should turn in a good effort. (6) Promise Keeper didn’t fire in his debut but might benefit from that trip and move forward here. (9) Drum and Drummer merits some attention in this field. Betting strategy: 10 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-6-9-10.
