Odds: 7-2
Race 2 Comments: K J KYRA has had no shot through fast miles from tough spots at Harah’s in last two. Mare ships to The Catskills and moves into strong trot barn after showing some ability in filly stakes events in Virginia as a sophomore. Worth a shot from off the pace in field loaded with speed.

Odds: 3-1
Race 3 Comments: RETOUR AU JEU went first up against one of the hottest pacers on the grounds in Catskill debut and first start in two months, pushed a wicked :28.1 third quarter and didn’t tire badly. Should be tighter off that mile for barn that ranks 8th in the sport for money won.

Race 4 Comments: P L NOTORIUS speedy mare has taken three of her last four Catskill starts racing on or near the front end. Returns from Tioga where she scorched to a 1:54 score three back and looks tough to beat from the pole. ABERDEEN SEELSTER has raced decently against tougher. Drops and figures to be a factor.
