1:19 AQU 4th PERSISTO (#3, 6-1) improved her figures in her first two starts of the year while settling for second both times then blew away weaker last time when switched from turf to dirt at Delaware; looked like a filly who preferred shorter while racing on this circuit early on and like her turning back for this. -Mike Beer |Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:03 GPW 4th DUDES GOT GAME (#5, 7-2), a son of 2yo champ, G1 Ky. Derby winner and hot young sire Nyquist, has worked strongly for this first run for a trainer who does very well first time out. -Michael Hammersly |Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:15 AQU 6th BOOMKITTYBYEBYE (#4, 12-1) is by top turf stallion Kitten's Joy and out of a dam who posted her lone win routing on turf and is a sister to the versatile West Hills Giant; trainer excellent with first time starters but has had all of his success with sprinters. -Mike Beer |Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:23 LRL 5th We'll learn a great deal more about IN THE LOOP's (#2, 5-1) quality as he steps up in class and will likely face more pace pressure than in his recent victory for an $8,000 tag. Set moderate fractions while mildly pressured by a 23 to 1 longshot, cleared off to the inside on the turn and was too much for that field in a race where they ran 1-2-3 around the track. He's exceeded the Beyer par for this level in his last two races and deserves a chance against stricter company. -Dan Illman |Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:55 WO 2nd MERINO WOOL (#10, 4-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Ron Gierkink).|Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:56 WO 4th ENGLISH ILLUSION (#5, 8-1), a refugee from the Woodbine Turf Endurance Series, is continuing his slide down the value ladder. He could be taking an edge in this $7.5K claimer at 1 1/18 miles on the Tapeta, over which he's a two-time winner. -Ron Gierkink |Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:17 AQU 10th BEACH FRONT (#9, 6-1) ran better than it looks when last on this track in March while caught wide every step contesting the pace and falling to a rail-skimming winner, and he has improved since then while facing better; hoping for a fast track after catching slop in his last two starts. -Mike Beer |Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:28 WO 5th REIGN BY REIN (#2, 9-2) raced four-wide on the turn in a stalking position before fading to third over an inside-favoring track when she woke up on the drop to this $25K maiden level Oct. 31. -Ron Gierkink |Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:58 WO 8th GIZMO'S PRINCESS (#1, 10-1) is plunging to the bottom NW2 class off a lackluster performance on the inner turf. She was previously a wide fourth for $25K on the main track while earning a 54 Beyer. -Ron Gierkink |Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
