RACE 1
| 8. Annointed | Got caught in a duel with #6 here in latest and gave reasonable account of himself; might hope for someone else to do the dirty work this time |
| 6. Bee a Sky Beam | Beaten at odds-on in three straight, last two at 2-5; might win here in first in Joy barn, but how low do you want to go on that proposition? |
| 1. Coolkid | Off the duel in latest but couldn’t pass the duelers, and inside post could complicate matters |
RACE 2
| 6. Golden Key | Speedy sort had to drop down a step to win two back but should be the one they need to catch here |
| 2. Thewitchisgone | Looks for stalk-and-pounce trip |
| 5. Jefferson Native | Last couple aren’t great but still enough to contend |
RACE 3
| 7. Millie Jean | Disappointed in latest but best would put her in the mix |
| 4. Miss Pearl Hart | Should be controlling speed and return to proper level a plus |
| 1. Centimorgan | Easily graduated in latest; lightbulb on? |
RACE 4
| 5. Head Lad | Makes second local start while dropping from special weight company after credible local bow |
| 8. Mia San Mia | Undistinguished field could provide firster a shot; sporadic work tab for a barn that can win first out |
| 7. Mr On High | Didn’t show much while encountering a variety of trouble in debut; drops a step and can improve |
RACE 5
| 13. Wish On Juba | Could be a handful if drawing in but needs some scratches |
| 3. Intention to Zip | Gets blinkers on after terrible start cost him all chance in debut |
| 1. Rudd’s Rocket | Second off the bench |
RACE 6
| 5. Ghostly Anna | Drops to better spot; has been second three times at the level and graduated at special weight level |
| 6. Collecting Angels | First time in Brown barn |
| 1. Crazy Anita | Tries two turns for the first time |

RACE 7
| 5. Moonlit Kiss | Trainer Grams originally had entered this miss in the Original Gold, decided to await this spot; runner is 5-for-8 at the trip |
| 7. She Speaks | Showed little in local bow but trainer Farrior keeps her in allowance company; back efforts might put her in the mix at a price |
| 4. Bella Mela | Hard-hitting sort |
| 6. Paymengold | Lone speed could take ’em a long way, and best might be good enough at a likely big price |
| 3. Dorado | Formful sort has been one-two nine straight, tries stakes company for the first time in two years |
| 1. No Change | Beaten favorite in last year’s Gall, he returned to win the Onion Juice nicely; trainer McKee 4-for-14 off similar layoffs going two turns |
RACE 9
| 6. True Blue Pearl | Draw a line through latest, as she was resting her head against the stall when the gates opened, spotting the field 20 lengths; hoping for a price |
| 3. Upswell | Decent try in latest when vying with the winner for most trip; first start in Farrior barn and gets leading rider Boca up |
| 8. Rainbowsnsunshine | Making short work of conditions |
