12:20 GP 1st ETHOS (#6, 3-1) plunged to the bottom for first time and turned in credible showing a couple of weeks earlier now returns to what appears to be his preferred surface. May not look back in this one. – Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:20 WO 1st SAINT’S REST (#1, 6-1) is halving in value off a wide fifth-place finish in his season debut, and could put it all together In his 3rd trip postward with blinkers on. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:49 GP 6th COMPETITIVE SPEED (#1, 7-2) switched leads late, surged once she did to be second best in the Game Face and readily won gallop out, suggesting today’s distance should be to her liking. – Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:55 GP 8th GRAN MICHELLE (#7, 6-1) has been away over a year since game debut win. Well spotted to keep that record unblemished returning for this tag. – Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:51 WO 8th OCELOT (#8, 6-1) was softened up in a speed duel in two 5 1/2-furlong maiden special weight sprints at the Churchill spring meet.
