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.

12:30 GP 1st QUEEN OF LIES (#8, 5-1) turned in even effort despite bit of an eventful trip in debut now drops for a tag, continues to do well in the a.m. prepping for this. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:15 TAM 3rd MISS LADY L (#2, 8-1) was behind a couple of these in her first and only try on the turf, two back, but she was moving well late after a wide trip from her outermost post; may be able to make the last run given a clean trip and an honest pace. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:33 GP 3rd ALA TURKA (#1, 4-1) among the many familiar faces in this one and likely to catch an honest pace to run down with clean sailing. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:09 GP 6th MUGURUZA (#2, 5-1) on the shelf since wire to wire debut win here during the summer but training smartly for return. Gets Lasix. Could prove too fast for these if handling the Tapeta. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:48 TAM 8th LUCKY JUNIOR (#5, 10-1) makes his local and seasonal debut but seems to land in a good spot in terms of pace, as there's a good deal of speed in this sprint and he has a good late kick; note the barn's solid record first time off the layoff. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:13 GP 8th ALPHA BABE (#5, 6-1) drops off bit of an unlucky outing last time. Might just reverse that 1 3/4 length deficit behind SYSTEMATIC in pair's previous encounter if able to sit the stalking trip expected in this lineup. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:18 TAM 9th PLUS CHIC (#2, 10-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Kenny Peck). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

6:33 TUP 8th HARD TO DENY (#8, 3-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Scott Ehlers). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
