2nd race – (1) Skye Snow didn’t fire against better company but looks best here from the rail while trying the main track. (5) Sense a Million was no worse than third in her last four starts and seems the best alternative to the top pick. (7) Antigone was claimed out of a winning effort and deserves some attention. (2) Money Never Sleeps was a distant second last time and should be a top contender. Betting strategy: 1 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-5-7.

5th race – (2) Passion Plus didn’t fire last time but was claimed by Joseph and has put in a sharp work for this that bodes well for her chances today. (10) Generic Mark steps up off a win and should be a key contender. (3) Dance Till Dawn fits in nicely with this bunch. (9) Feature Creature should be a force in the final furlong. Betting strategy: 2 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-3-9-10.

7th race – (6) Good Old Boy is in rare form and seems ready for yet another sharp effort. Merits top billing here. (3) Rocket Joe Copper was hurt by a wide trip and will benefit from a switch to Irad. (5) High Noon Rider returns to a reasonable distance and should bounce back with a nice effort. (7) Mid Day Image looks like the one they will have to catch in the stretch. Betting strategy: 6 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-5-6-7.

9th race – (4) Arham (A) was a highly impressive debut winner for Pletcher and can make it two in a row here. (1) Untitled has not raced since July but has enough back class to be the main rival. (2) Doc Amster has enough speed to be in the picture at the end. (8) Ready to Answer woke up in his second start and cannot be overlooked here. Betting strategy: 4 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-4-8. Doubles: 1-2-4-8 with 4-5-8-11.

10th race – (4) Winnipeg Wonder tired late in her first start in more than seven months. Should  benefit from that start and may hang on here. (5) K’s Running Free could be a key factor off a class drop. (8) Livin At the Beach should be effective while taking on claimers for the first time. (11) Seamialaugh raced well enough on synthetics to be a threat here. Betting strategy: 4 to win, place. Exacta box: 4-5-8-11.
