Race 2 Comments: THE NEW AMERICANA was claimed back by 32% barn after scoring third straight. Remains razor sharp and will be tough to catch. BEYOND THE VIEW ships up from Florida in top form and has scored three wins in under 1:55 recently. Lacks much small track experience but could be a factor if he adapts.

Race 3 Comments: BIG BAD SWAN broke in the pocket turning for home chasing sharp winner home. Remains in top form and may be close to handling this level from better spot. TEDDY BROSEVELT returns at reduced level after missing two months. Gets the rail and figures to be a factor.
