Handicapper Tips & Picks

Trainer E. Foster has two runners in this field and while #1 TAMARA'S WAY finds a subtle change in class for the second start this meet, she also finds a significant distance change and should be one of many in here to keep up an honest pace. That honest pace could assist stablemate #2 MISSY BEE one that turned in a competitive (B-) effort at this level, course and distance last month with some subtle TROUBLE- making a move behind the eventual chalk winner - a B- effort in line with common rival #5 BYZANTINE and should be the longer of the two today. 

A tough race to try and get real creative with the logical runners in this field - #7 GRAND PRAIRIE GAL has the benefit of recency, form around two turns with progressive figures in each start. She will reunite with C. Torres the rider from back on 4/28 at OP, a race with projected IMPROVE given the TROUBLE_S and middle MOVE over the poor track conditions sprinting off the layoff. 

#4 CAWKAB has been a common type since their debut late in 2022 and noted with the change in class today to run for the claiming tag as less of a concerning move. The barn change is notable to create some value in this case and upgraded from the return last month at HS Indy, the TROUBLE_S taking significant contact from both sides at the break forced back early and the top three finished together at the wire. 

Sitting on the AE, #14 SHOGUN earned a follow off the BTL debut last month and going out for live connections here. They will requires some racing luck to compete though one to tab and follow. 

#9 QUIETLY caught the eye and dominant (B+) on debut willing over the CD turf back in May they earned a follow from the allowance last month, a less than ideal trip (TACTIC-) making an early SAME MOVE and in a race shape and race par higher than today and should move up with the race under her belt and overall added experience.
