R4 – MSW 60k (Turf 9F)– Both ML favorites are 1st time starters, so keep an eye on the toteboard for any clues.

#3 Torch the Voucher (15-1)
#8 Silver Beach (4-1)
R7 – G2 Gulfstream Park Oaks
#7 Off the Tracks (6-5) – Goes first time for Pletcher barn and should not have a problem stretching out.
#5 Gomo (3-1) – She didn’t just come to keep Nyquist company. She’s a player here.
#6 Hold On Momma (20-1) – Live longshot has ability to add value to this race.
#3 Go Maggie Go (6-1) – Professional debut and Romans rolls the dice here with nice prospect.
R8 – G3 Appleton (Turf 8F)
#1 All Included (5-1) BEST BET – This is the preferred distance and Castellano will probably take advantage of his early speed.
#6 Divisidero (5-2) – This is a serious runner that closed into pedestrian like fractions in G3 Canadian Turf last time. He projects to be a major factor throughout the year in the turf division.
#7 Force the Pass (7-2) – Nice string of works for return and he always fires.
#8 Reporting Star (6-1) – Finds himself in a new barn again, but is more than capable of running a big one.
R9 – MSW 60k
#8 Conviction (8-1) – Lost all chance at the break in debut at close to even money. Clean break and watch out.
#11 Dig Deep (3-1) – Two strong races to start career, makes one think that the 3rd time is the charm.
#10 Zamjara (4-1) – Looks ready at 1st asking for Plecher/Castellano combo.
#7 I’m Amazing (5-1) – Strong debut barn and a win early sire = Big chance
R10 – Sir Shackleton 100k
#6 Anchor Down (3-1) – Exits a high caliber race and the cut back will only help the cause.
#4 Squadron A (10-1) – Was in striking position before clipping heels and losing L. Saez in most recent. Contender right back.
#9 Just Call Kenny (15-1) – Looks to benefit from the early zip lined up and should uncork a serious late rally.
#3 Grande Shores (4-1) – Honest 8yr old is familiar with these surroundings and draws well.
PK4 – 3 5 6 7 / 1 6 / 9 10 11 / 4 6 9 = $36 for $.50
R11 – G3 Orchid (Turf 11F)
#5 Quiet Kitten (8-1) – Has a pace advantage and could prove difficult to reel in if ignored.
#4 Photo Call (Ire) (2-1) – Brings some back class and this distance seem more to her liking.
#3 Suffused (GB) (4-1) – No need to remind anyone how good Mott does with these types of Euro runners.
#7 Songoficeandfire (10-1) – The return race was solid and will only be tighter for this.
R12 – G2 Honey Fox (Turf 8F)
#6 Lady Lara (5-2) – No shame in coming 2nd to division champ in latest and has a slight class edge here.
#8 Elusive Collection (10-1) – Lightly raced filly still has a huge upside.
#4 Sandiva (Ire) (9-5) – Hard to argue with her local record and she always tries hard.
#3 Mississippi Delta (15-1) – Has the ability to light up the toteboard after that last sharp race.
R13 – G2 Pan American (Turf 12F)
#10 Montclair (Ire) (12-1) – That was a salty field he beat last out and Leparoux just needs the right trip.
#1 Kaigun (3-1) – Maybe doesn’t win as much as he should, but no denying the consistency at a top level.
#7 Wake Forest (5-2) – Last seen in the Arlington Million and with a Firm course, he might simply be too much for this group to handle.
#4 Grand Tito (4-1) – Took advantage of an absolutely perfect trip and would need to repeat that effort at less than half the odds.
R14 – G1 Florida Derby – Would love to see Nyquist turning for home with the lead and Mohaymen in striking position.
#9 Mohaymen (1-1) – I’m in the camp where I don’t think we have seen the best of him. He’ll have to step it up today vs a Champion horse in Nyquist.
#4 Nyquist (6-5) – Silenced critics with a powerfully fast win in G2 San Vicente and the Best from the West travels cross country to take on Beast from the East.
#8 Fashionable Freddy (20-1) – Has the clunker style to add some value underneath.
#3 Majesto (20-1) – If anyone spoils the party, here’s your runner. Maiden win could of been the wake up call he needed and Castellano hops aboard,
PK6 – 7 8 10 11 / 4 6 9 / 3 4 5 / 3 4 6 8 / 1 7 10 / 4 9 = $172.80
PK5 – 4 6 9 / 3 4 5 7 / 6 8 / 1 7 10 / 4 9 = $72 for $.50
PK4 – 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 / 4 6 8 / 1 7 10 / 4 9 = $63 for $.50
Good Racing Luck
