RACE 1: TRY TRY AGAIN was behind Prince of Mayhem in their last meeting, but the former was at a pace disadvantage and still nearly pulled it off. He can turn the tables today given a more favorable race flow.

RACE 2: KIMBERLY FRANCES has been facing much better and holding her own at those levels. She looms formidable off this drop in class. BOWS N LACE was game in defeat when last seen, and her Beyers are on the rise.

STORMING MACHINE

Trainer: John Sadler

Last race: Aug. 11, race 2

Finish: 3^rd by 1/2

Beyer: 59

Debut 2-year-old colt even-money favorite in turf sprint. Not quick, three and four wide through turn, loomed threat top of lane, lugged in, finished evenly. Likely to improve next out.

SECRET SQUARE

Trainer: Kirstin Mulhall

Last race: Aug. 11, race 7

A longshot European ready to make a splash in her U.S. debut and a hotshot maiden who pulled off a rare feat command attention in this week’s notebook, which includes 3-year-old fillies, 2-year-old colts, handicapping angles, and betting scores. Time to jump in.
