Race 3: Fully Vested (#9)

The Pace Projector is predicting that he will be on the lead in a situation favoring the front-runner.

Got an odd trip in his turf debut at Monmouth last time when he was wide and rank heading into the turn before rallying late.

Has run some of the fastest speed figures in the field on dirt and would beat this field if able to run those races on grass.

2-1 on ML

Race 8: Dovey Lovey (#3)

It’s a good sign that Contessa is bringing her back for a higher claiming tag than the one she competed for prior to the layoff.

Will appreciate getting back to sprint distances after showing her distaste for routes when last seen.

Joel Rosario is a perfect fit for a closing sprinter like this.

15-1 on ML

Race 9: Honor Way (#5)

Ran better than it seems in each of her last two starts when closing into slow or moderate paces with less than ideal trips.

Should get an honest pace to close into if Carrera Cat and Talk Veuve to Me go at it on the front end.

May be catching favorite Talk Veuve to Me at the right time, since she’s looked vulnerable in 2019.

9-2 on ML
