Race 3 Formulator PPs |
Spot PlayThe favorites are logical. HONDURAN (No. 2, 3-1) goes second start back, stretching to 1 1/4 miles, and adding blinkers for a hot barn. Improvement is needed, and also expected. The morning line seems low, would hope for higher. - Brad Free

Race 4 Formulator PPs |
Spot PlayQUEEN MAID (#7, 9-2) failed to keep pace vs. classier going a route most recently but was second two back when sprinting; cold connections in 2014 should result in a fat price despite the class drop. – Byron King
Vulnerable FavoriteALICE ROADTRAIN (#8, 3-1) looked home free when racing in a similar spot, opening up a 2 ½-length lead in midstretch, only to get passed easily in the final furlong and settling for second; likely goes off shorter than his 3-1 morning line, and hard to trust after blowing that last one at 6-5 odds. – Byron King

Race 5 Formulator PPs |
Spot PlayThe favorites are logical. Bettors trying to beat the chalk might take a look at ELEGANT (No. 1, 4-1). She returns from a layoff in a claiming race, entered not to be claimed per CHRB rule 1634. The maneuver has produced zero winners this meet, but ELEGANT has back figures that fit, and gets a weight break under apprentice Drayden Van Dyke. Would insist on a middle price (5-1). Otherwise, pass. - Brad Free
