Race 5

Vulnerable Favorite

Tough to take deep closers at short prices unless figure to get a strong pace setup, or appear to be clearly better than their competition, and neither of those things appear to be the case here for DOC CEBU (#6, 3-1). -Mike Beer

Race 6

Spot Play

GROOMEDFORVICTORY (#3, 7-2) settled for the show last time but he ran a strong race, weakening only late after making a mid-race run at the lead; can atone with a better-timed run. -Kenny Peck

Live Longshot

TWO IS TO MANY (#6, 6-1): Stopped badly behind Stymie entrant Dawly when claimed from first start on the inner dirt; the prospect of a wet track may help this potential pacesetter, who posted three Beyers of 90 or better on off-going during the second half of last year. --Dave Litfin

Race 9

Spot Play

JONESY BOY (#5, 6-1) didn’t get anywhere near Percussion in the Evening Attire as that one cut the pace and dueled away with up-and-coming Long River in top figure performance, but he may benefit from the presence of speedy Mail in here, and can upset with the right trip. - Mike Beer

Race 10

Live Longshot

TAXPLAYER (#2, 20-1) gets trainer change today to Imperio exiting race that produced a winner along with four runnerups and faces easier today; always there early but doesn’t need lead to win. - Chuck Kuehhas
