2nd race – (5) Long Beach Kid was claimed out of a third at this level and looks best here. (1) Tone Feelin takes a big class drop and could be a threat in this spot. (6) Plato drops to a level where he should be competitive. (7) Kitten Street has a nice turn of speed and could be a main factor. Betting strategy: 5 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-5-6-7.

4th race – (7) North Carolina (B) cuts back in distance and should be tough to catch in this spot. (9) Kanaan rallied belatedly in his debut and should benefit from that effort. (6) Daddy Frank gets Jose Ortiz here and may wake up. (5) Khafre may welcome a switch to turf. Betting strategy: 7 to win, place. Exacta box: 5-6-7-9.

6th race – (1) Arrobatic is an Arrogate firster trained by Chad Brown who looks best in this spot. (9) Sadie Bear is another firster who is training nicely for her debut. (2) Osiria also has worked out in solid fashion for her debut. (7) Ojeleye may fare better on dirt than turf. Betting strategy: 1 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-7-9.

9th race – (4) Sayyaaf won easily in a race switched to Tapeta and now moves back to his preferred surface of turf. Should be able to handle this group. (1) Wora had a rocky start last time and figures to get a better trip from the rail. (5) Partner’s Hope steps up off the Dobles claim and merits attention. (2) Chinobe fits in well with this group.  Betting strategy: 4 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-4-5.

11th race – (9) Fiery Heart tries claimers for the first time and seems to have an edge over these. (4) Streaming Tap makes his first start for Maker and should be a major factor. (7) Ghostinyou drops into a claimer and adds Lasix. Should not be overlooked. (1) Globes gets Jose Ortiz and will be a factor on his best try. Betting strategy: 9 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-4-7-9.

No.
