Odds: 9-2
Race 1 Comments: THOR had a tough spot and no shot trying to close from far back through stepped up final half. Doesn’t win often these days but gets the pole and figures to be well placed. GREY BELL got lost in the fog against tougher, finished well when visible late. Takes key drop and will be tough.

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: AMERICANEXPRESSION
Odds: 4-1
Race 2 Comments: CONFIDENCE MAN ships up from Florida where he’s been chasing sizzling miles in the sunshine recently. Has missed close to a month but rejoins barn that’s been hot here in recent weeks and gets the nod. LOVELY LADY MAY had pace on both ends from similar difficult spot in the slop making local debut. Mare is winless over past two seasons and just 1 for 32 lifetime but looks to have a good shot with these.

Race 9 Comments: NEEDLES AND PINS rallied wide from far back but had too far to come on afternoon that strongly favored front speed. Draws tough spot but meets slightly lesser and picks up “hot” hands against camera shy group. Worth a shot here.
