4^th race [Clm 25000 N3L, 1 mi] – (6) Eric From Miami won at the N2L condition two races back by more than 10 lengths on a sloppy track and then had a wide trip while stepping up to a starter allowance. (1) Az U Chase Me came back from a short layoff to run third at this level last month. He won at the N2L level for $40,000. (2) Pineapple Man returned from an eight month layoff in February and probably needed the race. (3) Janssen had been in top form before getting eased in February. He posted a series of workouts since then.

5^th race [Clm 32000, 6F] – (4) Our Liberty Belle was a runaway winner on the front-end at this level in January and then tried a starter allowance two weeks ago. (1) Will Be Famous has two wins and a second in her last three races. She was claimed by Brad Cox from a victory for $25,000, came right back to take a starter allowance, and was second in a lower starter allowance two weeks ago. (2) Echo in Eternity was a winner last month in a $35,000 N3L claimer after contending on the front end early. (3) Gridlock was claimed twice from her last four starts while hitting the board three times.

6^th race [Clm 35000B, 6 ½ F] – (6) Pam Pam (B) was unprepared for the start of her March race due to a problem with the assistant starter and got claimed from Linda Rice by Rick Dutrow. (3) Bedtime Story came back from a 15 month layoff as a horse that won six of her nine career starts. Last month he set the pace, finished third, and certainly needed a race. (2) Book of Wisdom was second in the same race as the horse mentioned above using the N3L part of the conditions. (4) Fuhgeddaboudit has been running against better mostly at Laurel Park and is in with the N1Y condition with five wins on her record.

8^th race [NY, Md 30000, 6F] – (5) Magic Beach was on the lead in his last two starts finishing third and second. (6) So Spirited had a rough debut for Linda Rice three weeks ago at 7-1 and should improve. (7) Stimuli was third in his debut for $25,000 as the 2-1 favorite and then was moved up to fourth by disqualification. (4) Nine N Four ran six days ago as the favorite in the same race as the top choice.

Best bets: Eric From Miami (4^th); Magic Beach (8^th). Best value: Our Liberty Belle (5^th); Pam Pam (6^th).
