RACE 1
| 7. Boundforabruisin | Solid debut at CNL for a runner who has five half-sibs who won at first or second asking |
| 3. Felicias Cinco | Showed little after being put in tight in the first turn in latest in race that’s produced two next out winners |
| 6. Shook Me All Night | Occasional good outings |
RACE 2
| 6. The Wolfman | With plenty of speed signed on, might be sitting just off and ready to pounce; arrives off a win |
| 3. Al Loves Josie | Ought to be part of the early vanguard but won’t be alone |
| 8. Overly Critical | Late-running sort should get the pace he wants |
RACE 3
| 8. Diva’s Demon | Speed of the speed makes third start in Farrior barn |
| 1. Sapphirus | Beat $12,500 maidens to graduate in latest, lands in right spot |
| 9. El Morito | Slow out of the gate in latest but ran on willingly |
RACE 4
| 7. Take Your Time | Could be speed of the speed and drawn outside other early types |
| 4. Settlement Date | Prior form would put him right there if he can get out of the gate in good order; trainer Lucas is 7% off similar breaks |
| 6. Evanesco | Outbroke rival to get to inside spot in latest but may find top choice a bit too speedy this time |
RACE 5
| 7. Country Cherry | Training forwardly for debut for a barn that can win first out and has been having a big year |
| 1. Irish Delight | Check out the zippy half-mile move on Feb. 22 |
| 4. Double Spirit | Headed in the wrong direction last couple but best contends |
RACE 6
| 2. Juba Bound | Probably not good enough but should be running at the end at a good price in a race with plenty of early types |
| 3. Pork Chop Pete | Away a touch slowly in latest, putting him on the chase; alert break needed in race with other speed, but best wins |
| 6. Ellie’s Boyfriend | Good form now, plenty of early speed |

RACE 7
| 4. Mudslide | Gets tested for class in effort to make it three straight wins; one of two from latest to run back won follow-up |
| 6. Overnight Pow Wow | Training forwardly for season bow and owns major class advantage on rivals; wins on best but likely at very short odds |
| 1. Bella Mela | In the money 12 of 15 at the trip |
RACE 8
| 2. Advance Cash | Dead game in latest when disposing of pace rival and just unable to hold off late runner; repeat could be enough |
| 9. Doctor Pardo | Late-running sort has been in the triple four straight and hopes for heated pace |
| 1. A Few too Many | Makes second straight local two-turn start and looks to return to better form |
