Race #2 - #4 - Summer in Erin = First time starter for the Christophe Clement barn who is 17% with new runners taking the track. His sire Summer Front is winning 13% with his firsters taking to the greensward. His dam, Erin Rose has 4 starters, and 4 winners to her credit with three of those on the turf. Solid work pattern and rider Irad Ortiz is winning 27% with his turf runners for the barn. (9-2) would be a good value in here today.

Race #3 - #5 - Aspen Grove = Comes off a 55-day layoff and makes a huge drop-in class from graded competition. Tyler Gaffalione for Jack Sisterson is a good team, and they have sharp works and Lasix which should make this daughter of Justify a free spot in multi-race wagers.

Race #6 - #8 - Iron Max = The two-year-old was off slow in his opener and still managed to report home to finish a solid 4th. Manny Franco has the call for Jeremiah Englehardt and the barn wins 18% with second-time runners, and the rider/trainer team up to win 20% as a team. Look for solid improvement.

Race #9 - The Glens Falls - #5 - Eternal Hope = Flavien Prat gets the nod for the Charlie Appleby yard. She's been off for 9 months but was put on the shelf with straight wins to her credit. The barn wins 30% with well-rested runners making the comeback and Prat is winning 21% with late runners on the weeds. The trainer comes back to win 47% off a last-race winner on the shelf. Teaming up two powerhouse players, and I can see Prat giving Chalie Appleby a win today storming for home.
