4 Probable Angel improved her speed figure nearly 10 points in her second career start. Filly broke her Maiden that day in the mud here at the Big A and was claimed for 40 large. Gal makes her first start in the very capable barn of Bruce Brown who hits at 33% winners first off the claim. Win Contender
7 Purple Devine was overmatched in a local Stakes race last out but fits well with these. Win Contender
6 Belloro has been crushed in her last two efforts versus much tougher than these. She has shown good early foot versus lesser competition. The Big A’s strip has been favoring early speed types and this daughter of Bolt D’Oro just might get an uncontested lead and slow down the pace, using her chances for victory. Major Threat
Selections 4-7-6-3
Oaklawn Park Race 8 Trivista Overnight Stakes
2 Nerazurri exits from a sharp second-place finish to the highly regarded Nitrogen in the Grade 3 Bayakoa Stakes. Prior to that strong performance, Filly ripped off two back to back wins over this dirt track here at Oaklawn. TOP PICK
8 Gowells Delight seems to be rounding back into form as her speed figures have been on the rise in the last three trips. She’ training well and appears to be sitting on a big effort. Win Contender
3 Seraphia enters here off three strong performances versus Stakes competition. Major Threat
Selections 2-8-3-4
Santa Anita Race 7
6 Cuban Confusion has been a model of consistency since coming to the States via Ireland. Gelding has been no worse than 3rd in 7 starts while sporting 2 trips to the winners circle. He shows the best late pace figures of this group and likely gets a perfect set up today. Win Contender
10 Son of Birch should move forward today as he makes his second start off the layoff for trainer Bobby Falcone Jr. Gelding was last seen chasing a hot pace versus a small salty group of Allowance/ Optional 80k foes and finishing a hard trying 3rd. Win Contender
1 Nesso’s Lastharrah gets an upgrade in the jockey department, drops in class and has been training exceptionally. This Peter Eurton trainee can make some noise in here at a price. Don’t Ignore
