JITNEY (#3, 6-1) comes out of a pair of races won by clear wire to wire winners; the last one she was ridiculously wide before flattening out. Will play at a tick or two below listed price.-Chuck Kuehhas

Race 5

Live Longshot:

BELLAMY CHIEF (#8, 10-1) has a pedigree that offers few clues as to his ability to handle turf but new trainer Bill Mott excels with fresh faces, and the works are strong; certainly worth using in all slots at the listed 10-1 Morning Line. -Kenny Peck

Race 7

Vulnerable Favorites:

LEMON POINT (#3), like "Live Longshot" Bellamy Chief in the 5th, is trained by Bill Mott and tries the grass for the first time. But this filly is 5-2 on the Morning Line, and the barn, while proficient with Maiden Special Weight-to-maiden claiming dropdowns overall, is 1-for-16 over the last five years with 2-year-old maiden claimers on the turf. -Kenny Peck
