BRIAN’S COMMENTS: Team Tritton have a good chance for three victories with their good young horses today. LOCKINVAR MATILDA faces a good QUEEN OF EGYPT in the 6th race. PRECIOUS GEMMA is back after a long layoff in race 8. VIVIE’S WISH tries to overcome post 7 after 2 strong wins in a row in race 11.
