Some insights into tonight’s ‘welcome back’ program.

1ST RACE – (3) SCARLET CHASER has been chased by us before, though 1-for-40 in ’17-’18 should answer any questions about results. Decent draw,  so…?

4TH RACE – (2) PROVOCATIVEPRINCEN finds himself in dirt cheap this time. Should not have alibis, expecting him to take matters into own hooves early.

5TH RACE – (3) CHEYENNE SEEBER goes second off class dip, first off a barn change. Returns to level of last win and figures to be quite competent in here.  

7TH RACE – (3) MEDUSA returns to town after knocking heads with a good one at Meadows. Gets what could be generous assignment in stuffed distaff derby.

8TH RACE – (2) BAMSKI put in good effort for new barn. Catches an ‘iffy’ crowd of claimers this time around, moves inside, gazed to see if goes with them.  

9TH RACE – (4) SUMATRA was late in latest, picking up minor share this level. We gazed then, so try him again surmising draw gives him less work to do.
