Hot List Key:     

A : A preferred horse to watch                   B: Secondary horse to watch
*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 4th or worse
* - 4 or more betting notches if 11-1 or more.

1st race – (2) Trending (A) missed by a neck in his turf debut. Should make amends for that setback here while going off as a popular option in the wagering. (9) Native Thunder had a rough trip in his debut and could be closer with Irad aboard. (4) Tallahatchiebridge closed belatedly in his debut and should benefit from that try. (1) Grand David usually brings home a share of the purse and fits in with this group. Betting strategy: 2 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-4-9.

4th race – (6) Green Up has not raced since a second in her May debut at Churchill Downs. Seems to be working strongly for her first start with Pletcher. (3) I Cross My Heart showed little in her debut but might improve with Jose Ortiz aboard. (5) Loved debuts for Walsh and merits some respect. (4) Teasing raced wide in her debut and may be more competitive here. Betting strategy: 6 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-4-5-6.

6th race – (6) Sensual Chocolate faces state-breds here and may prove best. (8) King D was an improved third in his second start and should be a main threat. (1) Pittsburgh is a firster who could figure in the outcome. (5) Agarramesipuedes was a distant second last time and might make his presence felt once again. Betting strategy: 6 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-5-6-8.

9th race – (3) En Wye Cee didn’t fire last time but gets Irad here and seems due for a better effort. (5) American Prince has speed and could be tough to catch if he handles turf. (1) Skyro won his last start and merits some attention here. (2) Proven Strategies had a helpful tuneup for this and should not be ignored. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-3-5.

11th race – (8) Silvery Rill returns from a layoff since September and seems to have found a field she can handle for Clement. (5) Personal Best may turn in a top effort in her career debut. (2) Beravina might appreciate a switch to turf. (1) Howboutdemapples was third on Tapeta and should be a factor in this field. Betting strategy: 8 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-5-8.

No.
