Race 1: Clyde’s Runner (#5)
Ran well fresh when making his debut in a similar spot last June.
Was compromised by a wide trip against a rail bias in his only other start sprinting on turf.
Returns as a new gelding with leading rider Jose Lezcano in the irons.
2-1 on ML

Race 6: China Rider (#3)
Has earned competitive speed figures sprinting on turf in the past.
Will appreciate any residual moisture in the surface after Thursday’s rain.
Is recording much faster workout times ahead of this start than she ever has before.
12-1 on ML

Race 7: Passporttovictory (#12)
Ran better than it seems in her last start over a fast track April 5, closing resolutely after getting shuffled back on the turn.
Has run some of her fastest speed figures on turf, so the surface switch helps.
Gets a positive rider switch to Jose Ortiz.
