Race 1 - Maiden Claiming $12,500 - 10,000
Seven 3-and 4-year-old fillies will sprint five -and-one half furlongs. #7 Shez Stuck Up has been fairly consistent and has hit the board in six of seven starts, including two of three at Arlington. She just missed another second-place finish by a nose in her last outing, going five furlongs on the turf as the heavy favorite #3 WW Valid is making her career debut. Trainer Scott Becker has a 45% WPS percentage with 2-year-old runners. #1 La Negra Noche returns to the main track, where she has finished in the top 3 in eight of 13 starts, after ending up seventh in her first try on the turf -- the last time out.
Picks: I like a win bet on the #1. I also like a show bet on the #1.
Race 2 - Claiming $10,000 (Purse - $13,000)
Seven 3-year-old and upwards gelding will go five-and-one-half furlongs. #6 Magic Man’s Touch has shown some good early pace and has been pretty consistent. A son of Congrats, the 3-year-old Kentucky colt broke his maiden in his last race as at Mountaineer but also has a second-place finish at Churchill Downs.#4 Ugo is stepping up the competition after blowing away the competition by seven lengths in his debut at Arlington against $6,250 waiver claimers going this distance. # 7 Magi is dropping in class and returns to the main track after finishing sixth in his first race that includes winners on the turf at Arlington. Magi, who will likely be among the top-flight horses, has three cashes in six starts in non-grass races.
Picks: I like a #4, #6 exacta box.
Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming $62,500 (Purse - $28,000)
Seven 3-to-5-year-old fillies and mares will go one mile on the turf. #5 Room to Finish returns to Arlington, where she has run well -- finishing first or second in all three of her starts. The 5-year-old mare, who has five career wins and a 73.3% WPS rate on the turf, registered a career-high ESpeed rating of 98 in her last start back in May. #4 Oh So Terrible is making her first start in 2020. The 6-year-old Kentucky mare runs well at this distance and has had a couple of really good workouts recently. #1 Russian Mafia has been inconsistent but the mile appears to be her best distance and she has run fairly well at Arlington.
Picks: I like a win bet on the #5. I also like an exacta box of #5, #4, #1.
