Spot PlaySMART N DREAMY (#4, 3-1) finished behind today’s foe Akiss Forarose last time, yes, but that was this gal’s first try on turf and first try at a route. She can improve off that experience and she also has some tactical speed meaning she’s set up to get a headstart and first run on deep-closer Akiss Forarose. And that loss last time may help buoy your price. -Michael Hammersly
Spot PlayEmerald Downs shipper MIDNIGHT MAGGIE (#6, 8-1) is a new face in a weak race, first-time turf. Her dam won 5 of 14 on turf including four for trainer Richard Baltas. He is the new trainer of ’MAGGIE. -Brad Free Closer Looks >> |

Spot PlayLightly raced TOM’S TRIBUTE (#6, 2-1) is developing into a good turf horse. He shortens to a sprint stakes following an impressive allowance route, and can mow them down late. -Brad Free

Spot PlayFirst off, through 6 starts APPEALING TALE (#4, 3-1) never has run a bad race. Nearly won his turf debut going down the hill last out despite a poor start that placed him farther behind than he’s been since debut. Clean break should lead to ideal trip, & there’s upside here.- Marcus Hersh
