SPOT PLAYS
Race 6
#1 Ria’s Angel
Unsuccessfully
tried the turf for the most recent outing, but now switches back to the main
track in a soft spot with a class drop down to her lowest level. When last seen
on the dirt two races ago, this horse ran a competitive fourth against two levels
higher vs. maiden special weights and earned a speed figures good enough to
crush today’s foes. Draws the cozy rail post at one mile. Tough to beat in this
spot.

#8 Let Her Inspire U
Plus exacta box with #2
Queen Arella
#8
Let Her Inspire U returned from a layoff last time looking better than ever
with the maiden win and now should make it two in a row for Pletcher as the
clear standout in this field based on the speed figure from the last race,
which is clearly tops of this bunch.
Play in exacta box with #2 Queen Arella, who just wins
and wins and wins and now has 6 career victories including five in a row at
Finger Lakes. Gets another shot at Saratoga and she will actually be underrated
in this spot based on the recent efforts because her speed figures are capable
of going much higher than they’ve been in the last two wins.
