Race 1
Top Pick: #2 Aunt Irene (8/5) – The class of the field and the best recent speed figs. Comes off a win at this level and excels in both pace and late speed. Hot jockey gets the mount. Likely winner.
Upset Pick: #5 Tiz Hoppin (4/1) – Gritty vet with back class and a solid late kick. Consistent and owns a second place finish at Legacy Downs. Could capitalize if the pace gets too hot for top pick.
Race 2
Top Pick: #3 Traincy (3/1) WINNER – Consistently hits the board. Finished well last time despite a wide trip. Should sit in a stalking position and be ready to break through.
Value Pick: #6 She’s a Caution (4/1) – Has tactical speed to be in the mix early. Showed fight two back when finishing 2nd, could sit just off the leaders. Trainer is cold, but this filly could trip out and offer better odds than her ML.
Also Watch: #4 New Expectations (2/1) – Obvious contender. Seems to be the fastest early, may fade late or go wire to wire.
Race 3
Top Pick: #7 I Be a King (3/1) – Recent speed figures are strong. Showing very sharp form in 2025. strong tactical speed, and a class drop is key.
Upset Pick: #2 Go Forever (8/1) – Comes off a layoff with solid works and switches to a strong first start trainer. Five in-the-money finishes from eight starts. Talent is there.
Also Watch: #5 Water Tester (2/1) WINNER – Stakes-placed, dropping in class.
Also Watch: #3 Gran Chico (7/2) – Reliable but 1-for-20; may hang late.
Race 4
Top Pick: #3 We Call Him Doc WINNER – Most consistent runner in the group with 6 ITM finishes in 7 starts this year. Strong recent speed figs and always a strong effort. Looks to be dominate.
Best Value: #4 Flashin Chip (6/1) – Has shown early speed. Will look to get the lead and hang on. Back class and rail-skimming trip could make him dangerous here.
Race 5
Top Pick: #8 Reaux Bina (5/2) – Obvious contender with strong recent pace and speed. Consistently finishing second at this level. Tactical speed and strong bounce-back angle for trainer after being a beaten favorite.
Best Value: #6 Quality Bow (8/1) – 3rd off the layoff and gets a plus rider. Late pace and back class suggest she fits well if there's early pressure — definitely one to use in exotics or verticals.
Also Watch: #5 Unknown Caller (3/1) – See this one pressing the pace along with the Top Pick. Could fight for the lead and hold it to the wire.
Race 6
Top Pick: #10 P R Mo Vision (5/1) – Should be an exciting finish to the day in the Reach One More for $30k. #7 Nebraska Gold looks to be the sharpest in the field and perhaps overbet. P R Mo Vision looks to flip the script in this one. Excellent sprint stats with this trainer/jockey combo. A tactical style could fit well in a fast-paced, speed-favoring sprint.
Upset Pick: #5 Alittle Cash (6/1) – Improving, had a sharp maiden win last out. A legit threat at a price.
