5 My Summer Dream  blinkers on and just what you want to see as improved a.m. work......race has a lack speed and this route horse might have enough to be in the vanguard early......and if he is his endurance should be strong coming off of 4 lifetime routes to start his career........should go off a price
3 Prince Magician  good races turf to dirt back in relatively short rest......but this time Palma tries turf to turf back in relatively short rest......interesting maneuver might produce his best lifetime turf race.....if so he fits well here
6Â Mahaamel
2Â Uncle Jeff
race 2Â Â above average clarity
4 Big Sweep  3 for 3 lifetime in dirt sprints and all three of the efforts/figs are powerful races......away since late August 2020 but Glatt usually has quality layoff runners ready to roll fresh off of the bench.......regular rider Prat stays put
2 Private Mission  very impressive MSW winning debut for this Baffert filly at SA last Oct......laid up after her 2nd start which wasn't too shabby either.......a.m. work screams meant and ready once again.......dangerous three year old
1Â Bella Vista

4 Invictataus  need to lead type has a decent chance of getting it for the 1st time in a sprint race as this race definitely lacks the commodity.......this gelding has won 2 of 5 and a 2nd when he has gotten the early lead in route races
3 Sea of Liberty  race profile plays against this Sadler five year old but it might not matter as his efforts/figs fit fine at the given level and for most in this field they do not
1Â Indy Jones
5Â Erotic
race 4Â Â average clarity
4 Drizella  nice MSW two year old debut running 2nd (albeit 2nd by 10L) to a "monster"........5 solid drills since the race.......owns some solid early speed........hard not to like this two year old filly
1 It's Simple  very impressive series of works for this O'Neill 1st time starter and Doug seems overdue to have a nice baby........dangerous 2nd selection
3Â Sally Sanford
6Â Infinite Love
2Â Miss Shady
race 5Â Â below average clarity
3 Mucho Del Oro  Hess three year old seems like the controlling speed in the race if he handles the two turns of turf.......right guy for the job aboard in Maldonado who has won two straight sprints on this gelding
1 Seeking Refuge  good history for this gelding when Umberto Rispoli has been in the saddle.......and the Manuel Ortiz five year old has the potential for improvement today racing as a 1st time gelding
6Â Liar Liar
race 6Â Â average clarity
2 Civil Suite  when last seen in May of 2020 this mare ran one of the fastest F&M MC20k's you will ever see........it was her 1st on the dirt and she did with speed on an inside that was slightly dull.........nice work regiment hints Dan Blacker has her fit and ready......all that and we get quite the rider upgrade
1 Li'l Grazen  plenty of speed signed up in this alw affair can play into the hands of this O'Neill seven year old mare who is capable of winning on or off of the pace here.......most likely she will be off the pace today with a good finishing rider in Rispoli up
3Â Alice Marble
4Â Another Eddie
8Â Pray for My Owner
race 7Â Â average clarity
3 Nu Pi Lambda  four year old filly owns some speed in a race that lacks it......good post and turf rider in Hernandez to take advantage of the speed favoring race profile.......hard not to like
6 California Kook  away since December so this might be a tune-up.......but if it isn't she is a superior turf runner vs today's competition but she is a turf route horse who lacks speed so she will really have to fly late.......right guy for the job in Prat aboard
4Â New Heat
1Â Equilove
race 8Â Â average clarity
3 Fashionably Fast  very consistent Cal-bred tailed off some in March and April so Pederson smartly has given him more time off than he was getting......work tab suggests the additional time off has him at a peak again.......it is his race to lose if that is the case
5 Brickyard Ride  two straight dull races in a row but like our top choice his recent works hint he will mount a rebound..if he does he has a good shot to wire the field
4Â Jamming Eddie
race 9Â Â average clarity
2 Colosi  Tyler Baze should sit mid pack saving ground at least thru turn which should set him up well to make his move on the 2nd turn........seven year old gelding is (5 3 1 0) at The Great Race Place and this might be his last opportunity to race at SA until Fall.......so Glatt might pull out all stops to get a good race out of him today
1 Dr. Troutman  need to lead type has the right post to get the lead in this field with multiple speed foes and if he gets it his endurance should be strong with the cut back in distance
4Â Platinum Equity
3Â Contagion
