Race 4) Grade 2 Eddie Read Stakes 1&1/8th Miles Turf Post Time 6:40 EDT
Mr. Roary (1), has won 2-of-3, including lone start this year. 4-year-old hasn’t fared well at this level but enters in good form.
Hunt (2), trainer D’Amato goes with first time blinkers on this Irish-bred as he’s failed to fire in five straight. The shades on angle for trainer are a 21 percent play; hot jock.
Kenjisstorm (3), lacked a late kick after chasing a solid pace last out in the G3 American. Owns a first and second at the distance; also gets a hot rider.
Wanstead Gardens (4), finished third in his last two, including a November start here at today’s route; is a 3-time winner over the DM turf, and money finishes with 5-of-8 tries at the distance.
Up With the Birds (5), 7-year-old hasn’t found the winners circle in close to a year; has a shot for board finish but pass for top spot.
Ashleyluvssugar (6), has come out of the gate roaring this year, winning 2-of-3 and showing two back in the San Luis Rey; is defiantly one of the top horses around and the one to beat here.
Abbey Vale (7), starts today in the O’Neill barn following his claim last out. O’Neill with first’s off the claim, 20 percent; has enough for a share.
