Yesterday

No racing. Dark day.

Today

FIRST RACE
Fee and Sugar...Solid combo of nature and nuture with sire and trainer. Dam's first foal.
Sleek...AE list. More win-early punch with sire and trainer, not as much with dam.
Epiphany...Still more nature and nuture.
Court Dancer.
Thatza Wrap/Longride to Wisdom.

SECOND RACE
Queen Mercury...Will contend if SoCal numbers transfer.
Tanglewood Tale...Likes this track - but is that last Beyer believeable. A repeat takes this.
Nothing But Air...Might benefit from comeback effort.
Belle Gallantey.
Lily Lynn.

THIRD RACE
Saropia...Speed and caught in a similar race last time. Castellano rides.
Regal Joanne...Might prove tough with the class relief.
Dust Em Mick...Came from the clouds to win lone turf sprint. Returns to turf sprint today - and adds blinkers.
Imanindianoutlaw.

FOURTH RACE
Winning Cause...Won a similar stake here on 7/28 [that one was restricted to 3YOs that had not won a graded stakes on turf - given the field, this is essentially the same]. Left from one-hole that day.
Sayaad...Capable on best.
One More Cat...Solid on turf including a third behind top pick on 7/28.
Miceli.

FIFTH RACE
Point Taken...Expect he's better than latest and might bounce back to better numbers with move to Castellano.
Tuvia's Force...Near-miss second to the talented Caixa Eletronica last time.
Itsagoodtendollars...Stretches off of claim and just-miss effort last time.
Talk Therapy.

SIXTH RACE
I'm Smokin Hot...Dangerous on the move from MSW to mdn clm.
Lara...Competitive with the move in for a tag last time.
Chessrate...Looks to fit with these.
With Diamonds.

SEVENTH RACE
Apex...Further class relief.
Let's Have Us One...Lightly-raced 3YO finally getting to string a couple together.
Political Farce...Return to 'fast' track might provide rebound to good number fired two back.
Easement.

EIGHTH RACE
Best Friends...Interesting firsters from Sheppard - but has to get in from deep on AE list.
Zindaya...Nature and nuture.
Ruslana...Might prove very tough off of the first-start experience.
Stay in Front.
Super Sky.
Reign.

NINTH RACE - $150K Albany
Amberjack...Three-race win-streak includes first two legs of Big Apple Triple.
Smooth Bert...In the mix in first two legs.
Escapefromreality...Has gone well vs NY-breds.
Go Get the Basil.

TENTH RACE
Disaster Relief...Could be potent on move state-bred MSW into open mdn clm.
Southern Match...Claimed by Maker for owner Maker. Interesting angle on the return.
Rakete...10-time loser has competitive numbers.
Slick Daddy.
Cielo Soleggiato.

If we are interested in both halves of an entry -- in event of a scratch -- it is noted that way [in other words, both halves are named]. If only one-half of the entry is named, then we prefer that half and will move to our next pick listed [rather than the other half of the entry] in event of a scratch.
