Race 3:
Bonita Bianca (#4)
Has shown improved speed since coming into Jason Servis’s barn, which should serve her well here.
Was on a dead rail during the early part of her race at Delaware last time before rallying late.
May be catching her stablemate Picco Uno at the right time, since that one has trouble putting top efforts back-to-back.

Race 3
Greatreviews (#4)
The Pace Projector is predicting that she will be on the lead in a situation favoring the front-runner.
Ran well to win two back when fending off impressive next-out winner Alberobello, earning a career-best 105 TimeformUS Speed Figure.
Has reportedly been working well for her return here.

Race 1:
Fixed Point (#3)
His two turf-sprint efforts at Gulfstream make him very competitive against this field.
The top two finishers out of his last race have returned to run significantly faster speed figures in subsequent starts.
Gets a massive trainer upgrade to Phil Serpe.

Race 3:
Yourdreamsormine (#1)
May have been racing on a bad rail at Monmouth last time when facing slightly tougher company.
Figures to sit a good trip stalking the likely speeds, Big Guy Ian and Too Fast to Pass.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Jorge Navarro is 5 for 13 at NYRA tracks despite struggling in prior seasons.

It’s a cloudy day in Spa City, but at least the heatwave has broken, and we’ve got an exciting Saturday card to dig into – even if one eye will be on the races at Arlington Park. My local action will focus on the pick three that begins in race 8 with the featured race, the Grade 1 Fourstardave.
Play it safe, or swing for the fences? Let’s go for a home run Saturday at Del Mar with a “play of the day” pick three keyed to a longshot in the last race. The pick three (races 8-10) will include four runners in the opening leg, four in the middle, and one in the finale. Bet size: $1. Ticket cost: $16.
Race 8
A deep cast of $16,000 claiming sprinters goes six furlongs. The pick three will include droppers Papa Turf and Ninety Nine Proof, top choice Braddock, and up-in-class Bow and Arrow, seeking his fourth straight.
Race 7:
A Great Time (#1)
Has put forth turf-sprint efforts that would make her competitive with this group.
Got the wrong trip last time as her rider unwisely decided to rate her off the pace, and she got shuffled back on the turn.
Gets a positive rider switch to Ricardo Santana Jr., who has been riding very well at this meet.
