POST-SCRATCHES

4th: CLM, F&M-3+, 8.5f-T (P6, P3, DD)

Favored Candy Flower & Lido Key make perfect sense in good, well matched group with first off the claim Lagom (Morley 17%, $2.54) providing value on resurgent Castellano..

Most Likely: #8 Candy Flower 2-1
Best Value: #3 Lagom 9-2
Next Best: #5 Lido Key 3-1
Exotics Use: #1 Bee Bit 6-1

5th: NY-OC/N2X, 3+, 8.5f-IT (P5, G/S, P3, DD)

“NY breds long on the turf” ~ our favorite for finding prices, but note that Klickitat (5-2) & Ghost Giant (2-1) are clear and deserving faves being in for tag having cleared condition. Kelly Breen offers both Mo Faith (6-1/Paco) & Matty’s Express (10-1/Lezcano) and it’s difficult to distinguish between the two. Ruse (8-1) took forever to break maiden and then immediately cleared the NY-N1X for Tim Hills. Regal Speaker (5-1) came north with the Gargan string but skipped the action. Loses Irad to Ghost Giant but lures Saez..

Most Likely: #6 Klickitat 5-2
Best Value: #7 Regal Speaker 5-1
Next Best: #9 Ghost Giant 2-1
Exotics Use: #5 Matty’s Express 10-1

6th: MSW, 2yo, 6.5f (P4, P3, DD)

Important looking 2yo group includes Sidekick from Shug, half to Code of Honor, but pair from Chad (Green Jacket/Triple Elvis) & Todd (Mo Donegal/Varatti) demand attention..

Exotics Use: #8 Varatti 3-1
Super Add: #1 Mo Donegal 6-1
