Maiden race, and the 1 is live from a speed standpoint too.Sweetloveofmine — MEA Race 13HER: 889.4Big class dropper, racing well below where she can win. Off 17 days, but worth a look.Oh Look Magic — SCD Race 12HER: 862.4Six straight dominant efforts. Likely very short, but clearly the horse to beat.August Salazar — HOP Race 5HER: 848.2Four-race win streak. Strong horse, but there are other good ones in here, so maybe the price holds around 3/5 or better.Just Teasing — MEA Race 4HER: 818Dominant closer. Likely short, but dangerous.Ryder Ross — WBSB Race 6HER: 812.6Second start back, good speed, worked hard from the 10-hole last time, and now gets an easier assignment.For Dayze — HOP Race 11HER: 808.9Evidence the horse is ready. Good post, strong qualifier, and trainer does well with class rises and layoff types.Time To Ryde — SCD Race 11HER: 807.8Possible value. Dominant horse gets an easier setup.Blinded By Delight — WBSB Race 11HER: 805.5Good current form and comes in off two straight wins.Pass / Caution HorsesSayinwhatimthinkin — SCD Race 4HER: 837.5Pass.Beautiful Seaside — SCD Race 9HER: 833.1Pass.Grandeur Seelster — PHL Race 11HER: 814Second try at this level with slight improvement, but it is a competitive race.
