Analysis:

Race 7: I’m sure many will single (10) Father Patrick, but I’ll include (4) JL Cruze, who beat him last week.

Race 8: (9) Inittowinafortune has been facing tougher and her form is still good. (5) Act Now may have needed her last few starts.

Race 9: (3) True Day Dream is a Meadows shipper who took her career mark over this track. (2) Lightning Storm drops for a hot barn.

Race 10: This is an excellent race. I’m using the three horses that will be the first three betting choices, (11) JK Endofanera, (8) Doo Wop Hanover, and (9) Rockeyed Optimist.
