Race 3

Spot Play

Cold exacta, 2-1 Kowboy Tuff (#2) figures to continue Brad Cox moving along amid this terrific meet he’s having as he takes a major edge in this low-level mdn.-claiming spot. Cold-punch him over the perennial bridesmaid but hard-trying Tyler T (#1). – Marty McGee

Race 4

Vulnerable Favorite

Sure, SHY ROSA (#2, 2-1) can win. But in the long-term it's best to play against short-priced horses who like to run 2nd a lot, especially when their lone career win came on a completely different surface. -Kenny Peck

Race 5

Spot Play

MIDAS DANCER (#3, 12-1) would be great value at anything close to morning-line odds. Still not fully exposed on grass. At 9fs last was too far.- Marcus Hersh

Race 8

Spot Play

Exacta box, 2-7 To-the-outside 3rd-timer Unbridledexplosion (#7) is the 6/5 M/L fave off two sharp efforts to start her career for Wilkes, and she is your most likely winner. However, Impetuous Youth (#2) came well-touted on Oaks Day and ran quite creditably, and the PJM barn been known to improve with their 2nd-time mdns., esp. on this kind of slight stretchout. – Marty McGee

Race 9

Spot Play

TOWN TOUR (#2, 4-1) may be the controlling speed from the rail; she's winless on the turf but she may take to route racing, especially if she's able to dictate the pace. -Kenny Peck
