Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: KATIE ANN
Odds: 4-1
Race 1 Comments: EL PISTOLERO finished well to hold place despite being parked past a :28.1 opening panel in just third career start. Meets slightly tougher here and draws outside but appears to have the most ability as well as upside than any here and gets the nod. ALWAYS A DESIRE paced a :59.2 final half making up a ton of ground to nail show and appears better than the rest.

Odds: 6-1
Horse Number: 4

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: HYPNOTICDREAM
Odds: 3-1
Race 2 Comments: BETTER UP was parked to the top past :27.3 opening quarter, set a suicidal clip and just fell a head short in giant effort. Should complete chalky DD.

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: SEE ME SHINE
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: CHERISH HANOVER
Odds: 5-1
Horse Number: 5

Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: BETTY ONTHEBEACH
Odds: 7-2
Race 3 Comments: SEE ME SHINE broke maiden in powerful wire to wire fashion with addition of lasix in ninth career start. Meets tougher but seems to have improved as a sophomore and is the choice to repeat.

Race 4 Comments: JUNIOR’S DEW finished with crisp late pace, home in :28.2, in another good try. Remains sharp and is JD’s choice over three others in here.

Horse Name: LONE RAIDER
Odds: 5-2
Race 6 Comments: BIG N BAD made a wide move past three quarters, was impeded turning for home and still finished in :29.2. Sharp 12-year-old can fly late and should be sitting closer to the top turning for home from this spot.
