1-OVERNIGHT SHIPPER...post hindered in last but showed strong, prolonged trot from opener to mid-stretch.
5-PHOENICIAN...made 2 moves in last--second on short rest grinding forward but couldn’t make the top.
7-DEWEY’S BREEZE...lightly raced youngster trotted final 3/4s in 1:27.3 in a solid effort. Might be on engine.
RACE TWO
4-REGALANTHROPIST...made quarter move to the top in last & never looked back. Stays put in same class!!
1-MUSIC IS ART...youngster was awesome in 2017 debut. No telling how good he is quite yet. Big threat.
3-ARTISTIC CRUISER...left like a rocket ship in last then yielded & chased sharp winner all the way home.
RACE THREE (PICK-6 - 3,4 w 5,6,9 w 6 w 4,8 w 3)
3-TOWNLINE MOMMA...dawdled way back early as winner built big lead. Strong double-bubbled last 5/16s.
4-REVRAC HARBOUR...made mild backside bid in last. Compares well with others here. Can “make” ticket.
8-WINDING HILL...outside post, yes, but has big time talent. Needs to leave a bit & look for good spot early.
RACE FOUR (PENTAFECTA - 9 w 5,6,7 w 5,6,7 w 5,6,7,10 w ALL)
9-PANOCCHIO...champ is back in action after 2 quallies. Will be on choo-choo train when the Hummer leaves.
5-ROCKNTOUCH...paced final 3/4s in 1:23.3 in a grinding win. Recent form very sharp. Threatens again here.
6-ROCK ON MOE...warrior can still throw lethal punch. Should be tighter this time after couple of starts.
7-HEART FELT...made first up backside bid in last but :27.2 finale by winner too much to handle. Likes cover.
10-WINYARD HANOVER...second tier post, yes, but follows aggressive leader & should be well placed here.
RACE FIVE
6-ROYAL ARCH...makes three year-old debut getting ready for NY Stakes. Qualifier compares very well here.
7-DELI-CRAZE...consistent sort has been getting checks in recent. Can turn it on if panels are quick enough.
1-SHE’S SMOKE...did dhow a bit of trot on backside in debut here. Move to rail keeps much closer in here.
RACE SIX (PICK-4 - 4,8 w 3 w 1,5 w 3,7,8)
4-SUNSET DREAMER....post hindered in last but can turn on the afterburners in the lane. Look for 2nd over.

2-NEEDLES AND PINS...tried first up backside bid and did dent quick quarter--his :27.4. Throwing hints.
RACE SEVEN
3-SURGE SEELSTER...not much on paper but dips to amiable level here & can rattle cages in the lane. Edge.
1-BEST OF RIBERA...second tier post in last. Sat chilly ‘til backside but :56.1 final half just too tough to dent.
6-SOUTHWIND WHISKI...usually lazy leaving the gate but can turn it on in the lane. Shorter field helps here.
RACE EIGHT
1-SOUTHERN WINDS...posts hindered last 2 starts. Paced middle half in :55.1 last time out. Finally drew well.
5-ARSENAL...should find company to his liking. Will be on the engine here trying the wiring act. Prob. 3/5.
6-ROCK N ROW...showed solid pace on backstretch in last--:27.2. Was very competitive in Open 2 class.
RACE NINE
3-CARTOONIST...was used very hard making the top in last & was out-kicked late by one with 2nd over trip.
8-GOLDSTAR RAIDER...Florida bred very reliable for explosive kick in the lane. Catches live cover last lap.
7-ALWAYS A TIGER...recent form is very sharp. Tough journey in last. Needs quick fractions & live cover.
RACE TEN (DOUBLE - 2-7, 3-7)
2-THEBESTOFJOEL...had nothing left in the tank after :26.3 & :54.3 panels to start. Dips to amiable situation.
3-CELEBRITY SCANDAL...was chewed up and spit out in last through very quick early pace. Much better draw.
7-McMARVEL...outside post, yes, but showed prolonged pace middle half mile in last. Looking for love cover.
RACE ELEVEN (SUPER HI-5 - 7 w 1,2,3,5 ALL THE WAY)
7-SOAKING UP THE SUN...unruly at times, but, when “sane,” can put in rousing mile. Does “sane” show up?
1-PRINCE JUBILEE...does step up here, yes, but drew well. Last very decent with first up backside move.
3-BEIGNET...about as consistent as they come in any class from “4” to “8.” Always prominent & big threat.
2-SHIPPS XPECTANCY...has has two extremely difficult journeys last couple of starts. Cover flow trip here.
5-CAM’S ORACLE...dipped back down a notch to “8’s” and performed very admirably. Can leave & close!!
