Race 1 – 1. Financial One, 2. Sovereign Appeal, 3. Norma Jean B. Comment: Movie Moxie was the better part of the entry, so Financial One gets the nod.
Race 2 – 1. Sianara, 2. Malibu Bird, 3. Quick Munny. Comment: Sianara says goodbye in first start of career.
Race 3 – 1. High Regard, 2. Positive Spirit, 3. Jeweled Princess. Comment: High Regard reunites with jockey Rafael Bejarano and that gets her the nod.
Race 4 – 1. Miss T Too, 2. Ocean Breeze, 3. Palomita. Comment: Miss T Too should appreciate the drop in class and cutback in distance.
Race 5 – 1. Travel Column, 2. Off We Go, 3. Good With Numbers. Comment: Travel Column looks like one that has had sparkling works this summer and then more controlled leading up to her debut.
Race 6 – 1. Honest Mischief, 2. Strike That, 3. Nitrous. Comment: Honest Mischief’s stumble at start in last makes him the pick today.
Race 7 – 1. Flabbergasted, 2. I Hear You, 3. First Course. Comment: A narrow edge to Flabbergasted, though would use the top two on all multi-race tickets.

1. Owendale

4. McKinzie
Comment: Going for the fences on this one to beat McKinzie with Owendale, who won over the track earlier this year. By My Standards is logical but doesn’t offer value.
