2-  Itchy Pickle’s… Bows off the claim and may retain some of that winning form.  Up in class.

3rd race

1-  Go Tuffy… Too far back.  Move to the rail fixes that problem.  In a spot to gain elusive win.

2-  Delightful Dot… Just even as the favorite.  Will have to raise her game off last to win.

3-  Ndizani N… Well driven to win last week and now moves in at a higher class.  Consider.

10th race                                  

5-  Rich N Flashy… Been too far back.  Post provides likely added striking range or may leave.

1-  True Entry… Drops and draws the rail where he’ll likely have the lead.
4-  Cabana Jack… Been sharp considering the extended time off.  In the hunt.
