Thursday, June 19

P L SAPPHIRE (NW3) rushed to the top, met pressure a long way and gutted it out to the last step when nailed on the wire.

LIL MISS WONDRPHYL (NW11FM) wide, late, fast from third over at over 40-1 and would be no surprise.

KENOGAMI MAT (NW1) went down the road, tired, drifted and was nailed on the wire by the pocket sitting favorite. Should be tighter in next and will be a threat.

A BETS A BET (NW1/2YOF) brushed early and was a handy front-end scorer to earn her maiden victory.

CUPID HALL (NW1/2YOF) rallied the final quarter and just missed at over 40-1 and bears watching.

Friday, June 20

THE WRITER (NW1) beaten favorite was parked to the quarter, tucked, raced second over and was nailed by the second favorite. Gets one more chance.

ONLYTHEGOODDIYOUNG (NW6500FM) finished fast from an impossible spot but was close at the end at over 30-1 and bears watching.

EXQUISITE TASTE (OntSS) posted the quickest opening panel, yielded and was shuffled, posted a quick last panel to be second best to the favorite and the filly should do well in her next.

Saturday, June 21

CODENAME CIGAR BOX (NW15000) went down the road in a quick mile and can take another.

ELLIOT MOOSE (POPUP) wired the field in handy score in 20-1 upset.

HP BELLISSIMO (OntSS) was third over, rallied 4-wide, kept coming through the lane and ran out of track just missing the prohibitive tiring favorite.

Monday, June 23

Tuesday, June 24
