6 Kids Table – Her race 2 back is fast enough to upset these; like that Joel Rosario remains loyal to the cause.

4 Eden’s Moon – Not sure how she lost off the effort she put forth in debut; can’t figure another upset those versus these.

Race 5 – 7 furlongs, Purse $35,000, Claiming $32,000, 4-year-olds and up

Race 7 – 1 mile, Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $40,000, 4-year-olds and up
