Race 1
COLD WALKER – Shelved since gaining on talented rivals in December debut; fast works, first time gelding.
THE GREAT GAZOO – Absent seven weeks since $25,000 claim; blinkers back on with Lopez along rail.
HOTPOT – Roughed early in failed turf experiment; drops and fired in two previous sprints.
ET’S MAGIC MAN – Encouraging showing in turf bow at Monmouth; trains locally and could progress.
Race 2
HIGH VELOCITY – Dueled tougher fields twice since hiatus and should shake loose as lone true speed.
DALTON – Very lightly raced but twice stakes-placed and drops into claimer; exits key race here in April.
SPEAK UNITY – Soundly beaten at Pimlico after firing this spot locally; competed at top meetings.
MIDLANER – Brief traffic trouble in route and taking realistic drop; likely slow fuse at this distance.
Race 3
SCINTILLATING STAR – Sidelined since $30,000 claim at Churchill in November; fast works and gets Lasix.
JUST ADD MOONLIGHT – Speedy filly led to final yards in finish dominated by stretch-runners; one to catch.
SMARTY PANYS SANDY – Back from Jersey and shown flashes of ability in 11 attempts; upset possibility.

Race 4
MR. TUTTLE – Nearly won despite altering running style and severe trouble in stretch; ample early targets.
DATA DEAL – Crushed maidens two weeks ago and takes logical next step as serious contender.
NATAVALLI’S KNIGHT – Dominated easier field after early bumping and speed to pose threat again.
ITS ABOUT MY TIME – Very quick but hampered by stamina issues; shorter yardage provides some relief.
