TWIN B EMPRESS (NW6000FM) yielded, retook, met pressure and was a handy winner on a night when front-end winners were exceptionally rare.

MADRID A (NW2500FM) tucked, brushed at 13-1, dug in but was necked on the wire over the tiring track. Got claimed by the folks that beat her and should be welcomed into the fold.

Saturday, June 6
FIRE CONTROL (W3-5) was parked the mile, grinded all the way at 74-1 and was a good try 4th missing by only two and could get it done with better trip.
LOUA DIPA (FAN) pulled passing the half, motored to the lead in a :26 1/5 third panel and was a handy winner in her division. Burke trainee should be the one to beat in next.
JIMS FIRST DATE (NW2) was nowhere, then finished full of pace in the lane passing a slew of foes and should be a bigger factor in next.
PREMIER FIRST STAR (NW6000) tucked, sat in, had some traffic issues in the lane, seemed willing and able when clear in the late stages and earns a look.
SOLAR VOLTAGE (NW15000) was behind a quitter, angled out, rallied and held off stablemate to earn a check.
EXACTLY CORRECT (NW15000) stablemate of the above sat last, rallied late and should be a late threat in next.

CAUGHTINALANDSLIDE (CLM8000) rallied late posting a :26 3/5 last panel and deserves a look in next.
TITANIC HANOVER (CLM8000) was a 3-move going-away winner in that race and should be a major player in next outing also.
PATRIARCH HANOVER (NW9000) sat in, rallied between horses, ducked in mid late and just missed the odds-on favorite by a head.
LARCENY (NW1000) was second over and closed steadily. Should be able to steal one soon.

EDWIN HANOVER (NW1) favorite charged home from he back of the pack to leave the field gasping. Last time around he just missed. Can he take another?
