5th: MCLM/$50k, 2yo-F, 1m (P5, P3, DD, Hi-5)

$252k P5 C/O starts here..

Kinzie Queen moves inside after good wide trip try at similar level. Is supposed to win this. McPeek sends firster Tarragon (Volatile 19% with FTS) who was a $135k yearling and feels spotted. Judy's Flyer and Blushing Kam are first off claims for Garcia & Hartman..

Most Likely: #2 Kinzie Queen 3-1
Next Best: #1 Cat Pays the Toll 5-2
Best Value: #7 Tarragon 10-1
Exotics Use: #6 Blushing Kam 4-1


6th: OC/N1X, 2yo, 8.5f (P4, P3, DD, Hi-5)

Analog Jones whistled when stretched to 2 turns, is the one to beat and isn't the ML favorite. Iron Sharpens Iron is a crazy 15-1 and was as fast on figs as Magnitude and Uncle Jim..

Most Likely: #4 Analog Jones 2-1
Best Value: #5 Iron Sharpens Iron 15-1
Next Best: #7 Magnitude 3-1
Exotics Use: #6 Uncle Jim 8-5


7th: MSW, 2yo-F, 6f (P3, DD, Hi-5)

Tickin Time Blonde moved forward going turf to dirt for Oliver and is the one to beat (and perhaps the one to catch), but firsters from Cox/Juddmonte (Catana) & Walsh/Godolphin (MagicalDay) command respect. Would guess the Amoss/Politi Liam's Map (Modo) can run, but may want longer (LDK mare)..

Most Likely: #3 Catana 2-1
Best Value: #1 Magical Day 6-1 ~ NOTE: Gaffalione off mounts today from yesterday's spill..
Next Best: #9 Tickin Time Blonde 5-2
Exotics Use: #10 Modo 12-1


8th: OC/N3X, 3+, 6.5f (DD, Hi-5)

Kavod the one to beat and many will be inclined to single, but note Gold Luck gets Lasix back after stakes try and is absolutely on a par. Needs a little pace to chase (:44+), but Morales knows when to move with him if the half comes up north of :45..

Best Value: #5 Gold Luck 4-1
Next Best: #6 Kavod 9-5
Exotics Use: #3 Swirvin 5-1
Super Add: #7 Osbourne 6-1
