| 2. Show Time Allen | Nice-looking debut at long odds |
RACE 5
| 1. Crafty Windsor Cat | Didn’t have the wheels to get away from the speedy Stryda last out, but should control this pace |
| 6. Full Moon Lover | Bested similar two back but DQed after erratic stretch run |
| 5. Manarola | Probably best in most recent outing and makes second start off a four-month break |
RACE 6

RACE 7
| 4. Thencomemorning | In good form now; won’t be fast enough to go with the early pace but ought to be able to rev up a late run at a price |
| 2. Great Spirit | One of several in here with plentiful early foot; owns 7f win in Bishop Memorial, so two-turn trip is in range |
| 9. Musicmansandy | Missed the break in latest, but earlier efforts would have her in the mix |
RACE 8
| 5. Sister’s Duty | Should be able to get good position in a race light on speed; trainer Hurley 8-for-72 first off the claim |
| 7. Valid Reason | Packed it in early versus better in latest; has competed at this level |
| 1. Fortes | Lack of early zip makes rail draw a challenge |
