Long Shot – 8 Dapper Gene

Race 5 – 5 furlongs, Purse $22,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up

5 Blind Magic – Choice for forgiving handicappers; his races two and three back are fast enough to upset these.

8 Naturaliste – Logical chalk ran an OK grinding second in last; has tactical speed to attend the early pace.
