Daily Racing Form has served as the most trusted source of news and information about the sport since 1894, and moving forward we have decided to provide a free daily playbook – something that both hardcore horseplayers and casual observers can reference to get informed of each day’s action. 1:10 WO 1st MARAIS (#8, 12-1) was much the best in each of her last two outings against maidens, which included a disqualification in a six-furlong sprint. Turning back to 6 1/2 furlongs in this NW2 shouldn't be a problem. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 1:43 WO 2nd CITY LEGEND (#2, 6-1) has worked nicely since a neck loss second-time out July 30, during which he put away the other speed before giving way late. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 1:45 LRL 3rd MAGIC IN ME (#1, 12-1) was wired by favored Sparkle Sprinkle in shortened sprint at Timonium. Stalked outside, came four wide into the stretch and finished evenly. The runner-up returned to finish second in a special weight at Charles Town with a 42 Beyer. Think her experience edge should work to her benefit here. -Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 2:46 LRL 5th GATOR BITE (#5, 9-2) just missed third against New York-bred stakes horses at Saratoga. The runner-up from that race returned to finish second in the restricted Better Talk Now Stakes with an 89 Beyer. In behind horses turning into the stretch, he altered course to the outside and finished with interest. -Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 3:20 LRL 6th SO DARN HOT (#9, 6-1) has moved forward since being equipped with blinkers by trainer George Weaver. Advanced in tandem with third-finisher Jordan's Leo while in between horses two back, then flicked that one away while always holding odds-on Good Credence at bay. That field included two next-out winners. In tough when third to Grade 2 winner Horologist in recent two-turn stake at Saratoga. Gets a little class relief and think she'll appreciate turning back to a one-turn route. -Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 3:26 GP 7th HOLY MEISTER (#4, 12-1) easily owns the best Beyer Speed Figures on turf and he might not have careed for the muddy conditions when he ran on the main track for the first time in his first try with winners in his latest. It would have been nice to have seen him come back a bit sooner, but he will appreciate being back on turf, and his new trainer has strong numbers with claimed horses running back the first time. -Randy Goulding | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 3:33 MTH 8th CROWN OF JOY (#7, 8-1) hasn't had the best of racing luck in her 2021 starts, racing off the pace in a races lacking speed and thus producing mild splits, but this race seems to present a much more attractive race flow for the closers, and she has license to improve given that scenario; price should be right, too. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 4:33 MTH 10th CREATIVE LOVE (#6, 6-1) ran a deceptively good race for 4th in her last try at this distance, two back, as she closed ground nicely in a paceless event, and while she was up the course in her latest that dull effort merely proved that she prefers sprinting; hoping she gets just enough pace to set her up to make the last run here. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 5:00 WO 8th SHAMBO (#1, 6-1) worked well the other day, and the son of Bodemeister is out of a stakes winner who produced a speedy 2yo debut winner. Leading rider Kimura will break him from the tricky one-hole. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 5:03 LAD 4th AMOREENA STAR (#4, 8-1) is bred to like the turf with her 310 turf Tomlinson. Lone turf try came two back but she caught a good turf and then took time off as if something went awry. Popular horse at the claiming box and new barn is 27% off the red tag. We like how they want the green right back. Race flow is more than fair. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 5:28 LRC 4th HOT PURSUIT (#6, 4-1) ran better last out than his seventh-place finish suggests; he might be worth a wager based on three previous third-place finishes at LRC. Last out, 'PURSUIT ducked in from an inside post and lost position, dropped back while racing greenly, uncorked a middle move to duel inside a rival, tried to keep up with the fast pace into the lane, and faded. -Brad Free | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 6:21 LAD 7th DRUMPF MEDIA (#8, 12-1) is feeling great and just ran a Beyer top at 7/2. Once again, this gelding draws outside. This guy should stalk a nice trip and could be a nice price to entice. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 6:28 LRC 6th NOLO CONTESTO (#4, 7-2) has promised more than he has delivered in his 13-start career: one win and six seconds including four as the favorite. The difference for the N1X comebacker this time is he cuts back to a sprint, with fast works over the Los Al track, and pace up front to flatter his closing rally. Off the pace and into the winner's circle? -Brad Free | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 6:47 LAD 8th FURKA PASS (#2, 5-1) is by a 4 for 12 debut turf sire. Her dam never tried the green. One of two sibs won on the grass. We like that this filly often breaks on top. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 6:47 WO 11th IKERRIN ROAD (#1, 6-1) is the class of this $40K seller. The veteran has posted improving Beyers leading up to this event and is being reunited with Santos, who was aboard for his last two scores in the fall of 2018, including the G2 Kennedy Road. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
