Analysis:

Race 8: (3) No Drama Please could be a single here off his last start which was a sharp win against similar, but then he was scratched sick. I’ll include (4) Divine Spirit and (5) Pilot Discretion as insurance.

Race 9: (7) Modesty hasn’t raced since July but trainer Erv Miller is good at winning off layoffs and she seems fastest of these.

Race 10: (4) Melanie’s Tedy raced sharply off the barn change last week, beating similar with a sharp last quarter. I’m not going to single, though, because (1) Waterway has some ability and can improve on last.

Race 11: This is perhaps the most wide open of the four races in the sequence. (7) Pricelesspossesion is my top pick as she drops and gets a better post. (5) High Blue gets David Miller and raced okay in last. (8) Lauderdale is a veteran who has always done good work over this track.
