7th race – (4) Leviosa (C) was bet down from 3-1 to 2-1 and rolled to a second straight win. Can make it three straight here.

Exacta box: 2-4-5. Doubles: 2-4-5 with 1-4-6-8.

8th race – (1) Miss Delicious returns off the Maker claim and deserves top billing. (4) Mongolian Mission was rank last time but should turn in a better try today.
