Race 7
#10 Gunboat Diplomacy
Exits her best career race when switched into a turf sprint
for the first time last time out, finishing third by just two lengths and
earning a comparatively solid speed figure. Showed good late interest and this
added distance at 7F should be right up her alley at 10-1 odds on the morning line.
Race 8
#5 Bank Examiner
Plus
play exacta box w/#3 Tossup
#5 Bank
Examiner returned from an eight-month layoff with a good effort last time out
for second in an effort that looks even better now that the horse that beat him
has already come back to win again in her next race. Good speed figure and only
expected to get better now in the second race off the layoff.
Play in
exacta box with #3 Tossup, who has not been seen since two second-place
finishes to begin her career last season as a 2yo. Ran fast in those prior
races as a young 2yo, and those numbers project to be much faster now as a more
mature 3yo, if she’s ready to roll in this first start back off the bench.
