Race 2: Smooth With a Kick (#5)
Handled this course and distance very well in her maiden win last time, earning a strong 104 TimeformUS Speed Figure.
Has the tactical speed to make the lead in a race that features a no-speed situation.
Worked with Dunbar Road in her final drill for this race and held her own against that superior rival.
7-5 on ML

Race 4: Red Knight (#5)
Got poor trips in each of his last two starts, racing wide last time and making a premature move the time before.
Obviously figures to relish this 1 5/8-mile distance, having won going as far as two miles.
Has the tactical speed to get the jump on deep closers like Highland Sky and Pillar Mountain.
8-5 on ML

Race 8: Noblame (#9)
Deserves another chance on grass as a daughter of good turf sire Blame.
Should love this 5 1/2-furlong distance given her preference for shorter trips at Charles Town.
Has reportedly been working well for this race, on both turf and dirt.
