Race 5
#5 Twofer
Tried unsuccessfully
many times at the maiden special weight level but graduated at first asking
when dropped to the correct level against maiden claimers. Now tries winners for
the first time and again lands in the proper level against n2l claimers. This
is a vulnerable bunch she’s against today, and she should have no problems
making it a “twofer” in a row with an effort similar to last time. Looks good
now in return from the sidelines.
Race 8
#5 Frostmourne
Plus
play exacta box w/#4 Zennor
#5 Frostmourne always faces extremely tough competition, and
even though he’s lost two of his three recent races, those outings were against
much tougher rivals and there are no horses in this field the likes of Money
Multiplier, Heart to Heart, Divisidero and others he’s faced lately. Down at
this level, he is the horse to beat. Reunites with Irad Ortiz.
Play
in exacta box with #4 Zennor,
who came back from almost exactly a year layoff last time in a tough stakes
spot at Saratoga, but needed that race and faded at the end. Now comes back
second off the layoff and is ready to benefit from the return outing and go
further and faster today for good second-off-the-layoff trainer Kiaran McLaughlin.
High quality turf competitor getting back into the swing of things and
dangerous.
