Race 1 Comments: EATAAMS TRAUMA went a monster mile in local debut, used hard twice from 7-hole and still able to prevail with :29.3 final panel to score easily at 31-1. Stays at the same level and moves inside and should repeat at nothing close to 31-1, more like 1-5. RUSTY’S TREASURE went an improved mile last time and may be better than the rest.
