Analysis:
Race 6: (6) Radar Contact gets a big driver change to Campbell; hard to gauge her 3-year-old speed but she won 9 of 11 starts for a quarter of a million. (2) Freedom Crossing drops out of the Dover Open and must be used.
Race 7: (4) Sand Wyndham comes off a game closing effort and drops. (2) Live Jazz also closed well and he may have needed the race.
Race 8: Wide open race. (3) Sugar Queen Gabby has won her last two starts over this track and was in too tough at Chester last time while racing against the bias. (5) Beatgoeson Hanover was a top 3-year-old last year and qualified well.
Race 9: (8) Hannah Isabel was dull in last but may have bled, gets lasix for veteran trainer. (2) Gerries Madison has perked up with lasix in last two starts and has the class.
