1-TUM TAP has the benefit of a race under her belt. She has some speed and will have to go from the rail draw. The barn is on fire of late. 2-PRISSY seems to be outworking her stablemate a bit. The barn trains for speed and likes to win early. 6-BIAGODDESS gets the benefit of the outside draw. Last in, first out could play to her advantage.

Turf experience benefits the top two as 2-MARZ EATOATS ran well while sprinting on the grass in her last. She could clear and never look back. 4-NIGHT BLUE returns from a race in Minnesota as she rallied in the lane last out. The added 16th should help. 6-MARY MOONGLOW tries the turf in here. If she handles it, she could be tough.

The class drop may be what 5-DRIPPING SPRINGS needs to grab a win. He has some early speed and could be a good fit for Tavares. 6-RAGNOW has had many chances to break through. Maybe the turn back in distance is a plus. 3-MY LAST ESCAPADE is much like Ragnow. He tries hard and just comes up slightly short in the end.

Seems like there's some pace in here which should help 5-RACARINO as he could stalk and pounce in the lane. He likes this track and fits at the distance. 6-STINGY could be worth a look at a price. He ran a decent race at this distance two back and will benefit from the pace ahead of him. 7-WINGING WAYS has speed and will try to beat the others to the top. If he can clear he may be tough to catch.

A very tough race as almost any can win in here. Hoping there's enough pace for 5-SHADY MCGEE to close into. He has had past turf success and Centeno takes the call. 4-WICKED SUPRISE is a different horse on turf. He should be on or near the lead and will dig in when challenged. 3-BAKENEKO is often overlooked but he can step up while at a price. He should be stalking early and running on late.

Seems to be a bit more pace in this race than what we have seen at this level in the past. That could help the chances of 3-JET FLIGHT as he has been knocking on the door in recent starts. He likes this track and has been a fit with Colon in the saddle. 8-LAND MARK DEAL also will need some pace to chase. He didn't like the slop in his last but will benefit from a fast track return. 7-TWO COOKIE RULE has been consistent in recent races. He was a good winner two back and has found the board in more than half of his nearly 40 Hawthorne starts.

I like the return back to the turf for 4-LONG TALL WOMAN as she comes off a near miss in her last. She fits well at the distance and may rate a bit closer early. 2-FROSTED ECLAIR could also show some speed as she defeated Long Tall Woman in her last. She's also proven on turf and should take her share of action. 6-MORE THAN A DIVA may be the one who makes the lead in here. If she can clear she could potentially steal this race.
