Some April Fools insights (who better?) into tonight’s first-of-month racing program.

1^ST RACE – (2) MANTARIO was loosely pocketed to runaway chalkster as four-eyeball in last. Same venue here, now against returning 4-hole stakes number.   

2^ND RACE – (1) TROPICAL TRICE returns here for first time since making us look somewhat less ignorant last September. Have to nod as pole bottom-feeder.

4^TH RACE – (3) DISMISSAL SLIP crosses the border into a compact group and into potent first-out barn. Offered some big-track Toronto foot, first local nod.

6^TH RACE – (1) GOLD RUSH may (or may not) belong with these, but after an eight-hole and three sixes, gets first legit shot to show his wares Thus, let us see.

9^TH RACE – (3) SIR PUGSLEY goes third off bench, second off a class dip and with seemingly nothing preventing him from being forwardly-placed. We try.

10^TH RACE – (7) MAJOR BUCKS is sort of hard to go against, even with a lousy draw. Reprieved out of ’40’s’ into very mundane circumstances, finale gaze.
