(# 9) Grandpa Boy - Gelding by Exploit trained by Manuel Oriza who is having a good meeting. Ran nice race on turf last out where he made a strong bid towards the leaders while wide and continued on well to finish second. Goes back to dirt today and trainer adds blinkers which indicate horse is ready for a peak effort in this unusual optional maiden claiming race.

(# 2) Dos Robertos - Goes into this contest off a sprint race that went in swift time for the level. Colt ran three times as a two year-old at Canterbury against maiden special competition. Showed just enough so that I wouldn't be surprised to see him run well at a square price.

(# 7) Bad Boy Bracken - Dan Macfarland has been very adept over the years at preparing his stock to race around two turns. His percentage is just about 25% at this move with a flat bet profit. This gelding has been bet heavily in both sprint tries. Look for an improved race today.

(#'s 4 & 5) Stp.& Make Me Rich & Eddy O - For small exacta savers.
