Spot PlayALEXNDEED (#2, 5-1): This dropdown from the special-weight ranks comes off a pace duel in a longer sprint on Polytrack, and now adds blinkers, as did Nick Vicksburg Bluffs for a 40-1 maiden score for this barn last Saturday. His only try at six furlongs was against Preakness contender Social Inclusion.-Dave Litfin Closer Looks >> |

Spot PlayAESTHETIQUE (#5, 7-2) been off seven months since authoritative score in key race in heat which came back pretty fast for a 2yo filly; will play to win at listed price minimum and exactas over #1 IMAGE OF NOON and #11 MISSY BAY and tris including the #10 AS WELL.-Chuck Kuehhas Closer Looks >> |
Race 8 Formulator PPs |
Spot PlayELENA STRIKES (#5, 7-2) has speed but can also rate, and versatility will likely prove important here, as this sprint lacks a clear-cut pace scenario; dangerous with a favorable trip. -Kenny Peck Closer Looks >> |

Live LongshotNONNIE CONNIE (#1, 10-1) returns to the grass for first time since last September where she was a non-threatening 5th while wide on the turn against an ok field in a subsequent key race; don’t think you’ll see double digit odds, though.-Chuck Kuehhas Vulnerable FavoriteHOLIDAY DRAMA (#10, 3-1) as general rule, believe that horses off the claim in turf races for sharp barns underperform in relation to their odds and don’t think this one’s an exception; may hit board but will leave out of multi-race wagers at likely price of 2-1.-Chuck Kuehhas Closer Looks >> |
