STRIKE A PUNCH made debut with blinkers in last and had nothing else after gunning on lead in fast fractions. Drop today should help. APPEALING LUCY makes second career start after a wide trip where she came up empty late and makes first start off claim for barn that fares well with these. KIWI GAL has been beating half the fields he’s run in now drops to lowest level thus far and gets blinkers today for shake up.

DALKEITH RIDGE Speightstown gelding had dropped in previous two starts and gets a rider switch today after getting claimed two starts back.

HOLY INVADER Invasor colt owns two victories at this level before stepping up and finishing third after wide stalking trip. Shortens up and tries turf for first time and should take to the change with ease. MYTHICAL HERO Empire Maker gelding has been getting closer in each of his last three starts and should benefit from cut back. KATRINA’S PRINCE did OK while routing on sod at Tampa Bay in allowance ranks before last, which was drop to claimer at Monmouth. Switch to new barn solid in all scenarios helps here.

CATHERINE’S GRACE had been runner-up in two starts before breaking maiden in last as the favorite, and fits well here to continue streak for barn capable of keeping it going. DISCOUNT RATE broke maiden three back and showed little in last two, now drops in class and gets blinkers. HALIE’S WILD dropped to this level in last and didn’t offer much for fourth but faces a weak group here.
