Race 4

Spot Play

BAMA BOUND (#10, 5-1) didn't break all that well in his latest and that cost him, as he was too far back to make an impactful run in the lane; clean start can make a big difference for him, and the class drop should also help. -Kenny Peck

Race 10

Vulnerable Favorite

CHRISTIESBORNTORUN (2-1)is a short price on the Morning Line despite being unproven at the distance and failing as the favorite in his latest. He takes another drop, down to the bottom level of $5,000, and that can certainly be construed as a negative in light of that last race and where he was in the spring. -Kenny Peck
