Race 7 – OCLM 50000

1. #1 feasible (5-1) – Walked the previous time out in the slop and could show some improvement here with a considerable early speed

2. #4 Golden Irish (3-1) – is struggling to hold on to the leads in her career so far, but is often in gamble to favorite and should be early in the mix

3. #7 Hey Cookie (7-2) -will come best from mid -pack and can win if she gets a faster pace to focus on plus plus picks -Up jose ortiz here

4. #8 Circuit Court (6-1) – Always practical is perhaps a better game in the money at a good price, but this California Bred has winning opportunities with more improvement

Race 8 – CLM 35000N2L

1. #5 will not be influenced (2-1) – Brad Cox and Irad Ortiz are working together with this mare tribe that takes a step down in the classroom and may just need more land to close

2. #10 box wine (8-1) – More difficult message but falls here in the classroom and cuts back to an easier distance where it should be more of a threat to the middle package

3. #7 Starlight Dancer (3-1) – Lead well last time against similar time and should come from the center package with five places in ten starting time

4. #6 Proud Mary (12-1) – Silent Melody has shown more at this distance, but this mare extends and would like the added soil that is closed from the pace

Race 9 – Smart and beautiful bets

1. #6 Future is now (6-5) – Maryland Bred is played on a role and seems to be going well with this peat course with great consistency and in the best current form of the couple

2. #4 Ellen Jay (3-1) – comes from a longer dismissal, but this marefeulen from Covfefe has shown a sharp speed and has won all three attempts since he switched to peat

3. #1 Gal in a hurry (12-1) – perhaps not the primary victory candidate at this distance, but can be the one who benefits here at a great speed of speed

4. #8 Sunday Girl (8-1) – Twirling Queen deserves a look with more peat experience than this one, but this one bred by New York is too sharp to ignore

Race 10 – MDN 90K

1. #8 Solo Jim (7-2) – probably unable to win with as slow as the last time, but showed a strong closing kick in his most recent attempt and needs some pace here

2. #6 Inspeightofcharlie (12-1) – Espinoza’s only mountain of the day on this Barclay Tagg trainee who makes his debut against a field full of questions

3. #9 Kaz Oil Changer (4-1) – Irad Ortiz keeps off after two right place and returns to a more manageable distance against a less field here

4. #4 Undispassed (9-2) – The last time ended well in the third time against a stricter foal, but his best walked back on this distance and should be near the leadership
