Race 5:
Holding Aces (#6)

The Pace Projector is predicting a situation favoring horses on or near the lead, and he may be the quickest of them all early.

Is capable of running speed figures that would beat this field.

Lost all chance at the start last time, and actually rallied decently to be fifth.

6-1 on ML

Race 6:
Scorpion Bowl (#1)

Got a peculiar trip in her debut, as she was up close early, faded, and then rallied again in the stretch.

Should run a much more professional race this time.
