It’s hard for me to trust any of the short prices in this claiming opener. Obrigada (#7) might be considered the horse to beat by some handicappers after she won at the $25k level last time. However, she had everything her own way up front that day in a race that lacked any pace. She still just barely held on in the late stages, and I think she has to run better to beat this group. She’s making her first start off the claim for Rob Atras, but he does not have particularly strong statistics with that move.

3:39 LAD 3rd NO COST (#2, 9-2) is feeling great. She ran a solid second on the green at Evangeline only three back. She draws well and keeps Dominguez who is 46% for this barn. -Scott Ehlers
