Early 4 PRE scratches
1st
Looks like a chalky start to the early quad.
#1 Mud Sweat n Tears & #6 Standford Dolly seem to be in the best form. Both should be looking for that stalk/closing type trip and should get a fair pace to run at with the 2 & 5 most likely both trying to get the lead.

2nd
Wide open 2 year old affair where I am considering going 6 deep.
#6 Sweet Tiger, #7 Bertran Hill and #9 Wolf Trail all come out of the same race, where the 2nd place finisher won next time out. I also like the 2 Harrington horse to the outside,
#10 Zees Echo (first time starter with good works and trainer winning at 26% with firsters) and
11 Awesome Swiss (making 2nd start and has 4 good works under his belt since his debut).
#4 Chocolate Marini sports a bullet 2 days ago leading into this race.

3rd
#1 Roi Charmant making 2nd off the bench for the hot Truman barn. Gets the rail and will probably try to go wire to wire.
#3 Cayambe sports a bullet for his return after a brief layoff. Stalker also gets some class relief dropping in for 40k.
#4 Shadow of Illinois looking for his 3rd straight win. Trainer has good numbers with his limited starters.
Playing against the Mullins (always dangerous) horse off the layoff here.

4th
#10 Celena ran 4th for statebred 35k last out with 1st time blinkers. Cuts back a panel, drops to open 25k and breaks from the outside.
#3 Ampys Lil Girl just missed at the same level last out. Chris Russell comes over from Los Al for the mount and any type of repeat performance should put her right in the mix.
#1 Kristen's Lil Lady sports a good work heading into this race where she drops a level and gets the rail. Tyler Baze back abord the 3 year old filly, he was abord the first 2 races where she ran second and third. She should be a square price.
