RACE TWO           

4-DIAMOND DAGGER...mare has changed her style of racing recently. On engine & yielding for garden trip.

3-MASSIVE LIGHTNING...can really turn on the afterburners in the lane. Quick panels would help his cause.

RACE FOUR (PENTAFECTA - 1,8 w 1,8 w 3,4,6 w 3,4,6 w ALL)

1-RACE ME ROCKY...finally drew well! Won’t have to work as hard to be prominent early. Look for 1/4 move.

RACE FIVE 

3-CABRERA...paced last 3/4s in 1:26.1 showing huge rally, especially once they straightened away in the lane.

2-THUMPEM...was used very hard making the top in last and fractions caught up with him late. 1/4 move!

1-McGREAT...been competitive in this class lately. Drew the rail & should remain relatively close throughout.

2-EXPLOSIVE MUSCLES...closed like gangbusters into 30 mph winds last time out. Drew much better here.

7-SWAN HANDICAP...was in a bit too tough in last. Drew outside, yes, but fractions should be stout. Cover!!

1-CASHAHALLIC...every start here has been decent and a check-getter. Drew rail & will be aggressive leaving.

3-HILLCREST BIGDADDY...nothing on paper but noticed he paced third quarter in :27.4 in FIRST START BACK.
