WESTWOOD

Maiden improved as first-time gelding, first-time Lasix, and having undergone throat procedure. Three wide in MSW route, loomed quarter pole, tired. Solid comeback.

RIDEGOLD
Trainer: Craig Lewis
Last race: Feb. 14, 8th
Finish: 5th by 4 3/4
Beyer: 37
Second-start maiden shuffled early, lost position, unleashed wide move into lane, then went flat. Clubhouse Ride filly ran better than this in her debut, this race is a toss.
