Race 1 Comments:  GARNET has missed over three months since being overmatched against tougher. Showed improved speed in useful qualifier and now takes sharp drop. LUGAR had even trot through fast fractions. Also drops and should be tough for barn that was hot last week.

Race 2 Comments:  VANISHING ACT is developing a case of seconditis in recent, finishing behind the winner in last three. Takes a slight drop, gets a good spot and may not stop this afternoon. KREMLIN was dead last at three quarters, rallied wide and finished with solid trot. Makes second start on lasix, gets the pole and looks like key player.
