• #5 LISTENTOTHEMUSIC (5-1) should be competitive in this spot. He shouldn't have trouble with the 5 furlong distance.
• #2 DR OSERAN (7-2) should improve off the first start and has a grinding run style that should play well here.
• #6 SALT SPRAY (4-1) debuts here and goes out for the Ward barn and gets Velazquez in the irons.

Post: 12:40 PM ET; $32k Maiden Claiming going 1 mile 70 yards on all weather track; Entries: 8

• #1 BLACK ICE (9-5) is the top pick. She has races good enough to beat this group. This one will be rolling late and has a good closing kick that could get the job done here.
• #3 MAJOR PRYCE (8-5) has races good enough to beat this group. This one should be sitting in the second tier of runners and looking to make one well timed run at the leaders.
• #7 LA PALMA (15-1) has been running against better.
