Spot Play

AWAKE AT T WIRE (#2, 9/2) makes first start for sharp claiming outfit, and is back to two-turn route for first time since gunning down Handsome Harbor at Parx, and that horse has since won twice with Beyers of 89 and 83.-Mike Beer

AWAKE AT T WIRE (#2, 9-2) goes turf to dirt off the Riccio/Nevin claim; prior dirt race yielded three next out winners. Will look to run them down in lane.-Chuck Kuehhas

Vulnerable Favorite

Granted he ran a better race than today's rival Jesses Giant Dunk last time, but MY TEDDY BEAR (#8, 5/2) is still 0-for-18 for low-percentage connections and is a less-than-interesting betting proposition at any short price.-Mike Beer

Race 8

Live Longshot

LA BELLA VALERIA (#3, 12/1) comes here with some recent excuses and, overall, has held form which makes her competitive in open looking sprint.-Mike Beer
