RACE 1
| 1. Pork Chop Pete | Just about any of his 4 1/2 furlong races would win here; game effort in last when following the winner to just miss after wide journey, and all six from that race to run back have finished in the money, including three winners |

| 2. Golden Run | Should be involved in early pace |
| 7. Never More Valor | Half to $780k earner Fille d’Esprit |
RACE 4
| 3. Emberly | Shifts into Farrior barn; head turned at the start in last, so cleaner break would be a good start; has beaten similar and should control pace once again |
| 1. Bonnie Bluetooth | Scored nicely against similar in last |
| 7. Arrowwood | Consistent sort fits with these |
RACE 5
| 2. Boundtobeok | Has faced much better of late |
| 7. Starship Blanca | Second off a freshening |

| 6. Take Your Time | Drops to the bottom and may be controlling speed |
