Race 5

Spot Play

JAMAICAN SMOKE (#5, 8-5): When they put “class relief” in the racing dictionary, they might have a picture of PP’s for this race while highlighting this Kenneally-trained filly who surely will appreciate this move back into the alw. ranks after so many futile (but decent) efforts in stakes company. Looms the major outside speed, which seals this deal. – Marty McGee

Race 7

Spot Play

First turf, first Lasix, two recent 5fs drills for 3rd-time starter HASILAH (#1, 15-1). Good chance to outrun odds & there’s value in race with 5yo maiden as favorite. – Marcus Hersh

Race 8

Live Longshot

OUIMET (#12, 15-1) gets back on the main track and his best dirt Beyers over this track give him crediility in this field, at a big price; tactical speed should mean he gets position despite the wide draw. -Kenny Peck

Spot Play

BULL DOZER (#11, 3-1): 6yo pro with a penchant for CD (6-2-2-0) returns after a seven-week break and should come out rolling from his outer post, applying steady pressure til they give in. Should be a decent price in here because of the other capable ones, but don’t mistake that for “dead on the board” … take it for what it is. – Marty McGee
