Spot Play

INDY SEA (#2, 6-1) drops into a better spot after facing tougher since the claim, and he has reasonable excuses for each of last two efforts; enough pace signed on to this race to give him his best chance. - Mike Beer

Race 3

Spot Play

JOAN’S CHOICE (#1, 4-1): Veteran gelding was running in stakes at this time a year ago; he drops sharply in class and looms the controlling speed from the rail, after forcing a strong pace first time back from a layoff. --Dave Litfin

Race 6

Spot Play

GOLD POTION (#8, 7-2) drops back down after enduring no chance trip when stacked up five-wide all the way against a gold rail on March 3rd, and she ran well enough in each of first three starts to contend here. - Mike Beer

Spot Play

LIVININTHEFASTLANE (#5, 4-1) may be the main speed here for trainer Rudy Rodriguez in her first start off the layoff; dangerous if in fact able to shake loose and control the pace. -Kenny Peck

Race 9

Vulnerable Favorite

Last time was the time for SHIPWRECKED (#2, 3-1), on the stretch out with blinkers on, and he was best in there despite being DQ’d from the win; faces some interesting new horses here, and is unlikely to be loose on an easy pace this time. - Mike Beer
