- CARRYOVERS: Jackpot Pick 6, $13,416
- Jockeys and trainers to watch
RACE 1
| 5. Parallax View | Lightly raced sort ran OK in last behind next-out winner Princess Margaret and seems to be on the improve |
| 6. Makani | Has finished ahead of top choice a couple of times but also been beaten favorite in three of last five |
| 7. Frosty Ria | Speedy sort gets Grams’s go-to rider in Reynolds |
RACE 2
| 3. Caliente Rum | Beaten favorite in a race that’s produced a next-out winner from four to run back |
| 1. Tap the Keg | Does best work on the lead and draws rail |
| 5. Palmary | Morning line fave likely to be very short odds come post time |
RACE 3
| 8. Sam Wheat | Trainer Farrior 4-for-13 with second-start maiden claimers who were in the money on debut; credible first outing |
| 7. Veselsky | Former Claudio Gonzalez runner lands in barn of his former assistant Singh |
| 5. Iceteca | OK tries versus similar |
RACE 4
| 7. Gran Andrews | Has dominated at this level and is 5-for-11 at the trip |
| 6. Ragtime Riches | Late-running sort bested allowance foes in last and has run OK at three-turn distance |
| 4. Subject to Change | Likely to be speed of the speed |
RACE 5
| 5. Jubawithatwist | Useful season bow versus saltier group than this; won three stakes as a juvy |
| 6. Unison | Has crossed the wire first in five straight and shows a sharp work from the gate April 17, but with no races in 11 months, we’re shy about accepting favoritism |
| 2. Runaldo | Making short work of state-bred conditions, tries open company for first time (though most of these are also state-breds) |
RACE 6
| 3. Deplane | A bit sluggish early in last when beaten favorite but still rallied into third |
| 4. Cajun Dream | Makes season bow; showing up here suggests connections don’t want to expose runner to possible claim, a good sign |
| 1. Fieldstone | Speedy sort ran big in last, figures to have early company from outside horse Cajun Joe |
RACE 7 – It’s Binn Too Long Stakes
| 1. Miss Bee Bop | Only horse to beat morning line favorite Jlodiamond |
| 7. Overnight Pow Wow | Inclined to forgive last after sluggish start; bloodlines say the talent’s there |
| 5. Jlodiamond | Two very strong outings in a row |
RACE 8
| 10. Makinlimmargaritas | Outside draw once again does this one no favors, but longer run to turn a plus; will be first or just second in early running, and return to earlier form could be enough in wide open heat |
| 3. Tough Enough | Sharp try when second after race-long duel in last, but likely sharper pace here a concern |
| 8. Miss Antietam | Tough trip when hung out wide throughout in last |
