Race One: $25,000 CL
(5) ART’S TIGER closed strongly off poor cover from post #10 (7) TALK FOREVER should flash his early speed looking for the trip behind #10 (1) MONTAUK should be in for ground saving trip from the rail but will have to find some late room (6) AL’S COURT A Gingra’s choice over the #5 and has been sharp but negative trainer change

Race Two: $30,000 CL
(5) ARTS REGARDS much improved effort coming home in 26.3 and bumped back up in class by Burke (8) CAPS CLASSIC game effort in 2nd start off the dropdown but may get overbet in this spot (4) PACIFIC BLUE JEAN excuse race last week as he got buried inside, prior sharp form (3) FRANCO SEQUEL N doesn’t win that often but good early speed trip type 1st start for improved Lachance barn

Race Three: $40,000 CL
(3) WARLOCK APPRENTICE trip but not enough kick in 1st start for 50% win barn
(2) CANUSEEME BOW 4th over and had little chance closing in fast last quarter
