2:38 WO 2nd LETTHEBIGHOSSROLL (#4, 10-1) saved ground before closing wide in the lane to end up fourth when going around two turns on the inner turf Sept. 18. He’s worked thrice in the interim and could put it all together here on the main turf with Fukumoto back aboard. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:04 LRL 4th DOUBLBARRELBOURBON (#5, 5-1) is a candidate for second-out improvement as he drops to the bottom following a rallying debut over inside speed-favoring track at Pimlico. Although this gelding raced on the better inside paths for most of the way, it was tough to close that afternoon, and he angled outside in midstretch with a decent kick and a solid gallop-out. The winner returned to snag a $25,000 claimer with a 65 Beyer. – Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:12 LRL 6th XTREME MAYHEM (#7, 6-1) ($70,000 weanling, $75,000 yearling, $95,000 March juvenile RNA, $80,000 June juvenile) breezed two furlongs in 21 3/5 seconds prior to the most recent auction and is by a sire that wins at a very respectable 18% rate with his first-time starters. A half-brother to juvenile debut winner Hedonemewrongsong, he is out of juvenile stakes-placed turf router Bitter Lemon, herself a half-sister to Grade 3-winning turf router Blind Date. The second dam won the Grade 2 Cotillion Handicap routing on dirt. This owner-trainer-jockey combination scored with juvenile debut winner Sir Wellington (8 to 1 odds) on August 29 at Delaware. – Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:44 WO 6th CANOLA WORLD (#3, 6-1) stalked in second en route to finishing third in his six-furlong debut on the Tapeta. The son of top turf sire Silent Name seems well-suited to five-eighths on the inner turf with the capable Nicholls retaining the mount for Sadler. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:46 LRL 7th STICKINGTOGETHER (#16, 10-1) has the pedigree to handle the turf as she’s a half-sister to five grass victors, including multiple stakes-winner Giant Run and Grade 3-placed Who’s Cozy. Her dam defeated males to win the Grade 2 Jersey Derby on the weeds at Garden State. Stakes-placed on dirt behind the talented Hello Beautiful last year at two, she finished ahead of next-out 67-Beyer winner Epic Idea (Maryland Million Ladies) in her most recent off-the-turf effort. Think she’s slowly racing back into shape in her fourth start of the year. – Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

7:20 WO 11th ALL INCLUSIVE (#1, 6-1) is going back to maiden company off a front-running fifth in a NW2 because a ruling came out this week, which disqualified him from purse money from his big June 7 win. He could wire this $25K field at a chalky price. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
