Race 1

3-Betting Marker – Got parked & retreated in his Big M/Bruce Lauer debut, but greatly needed that acclimating mile & draws better in full rebound mode

9-Dismas – Acclimated promptly with an alert start for a pocket ride & nailed Doctor Arroganto with a :26.4 last week, stuck outside that rival, but has the gate speed & form

 

Race 6

5-Bless Me Father – Maritimes/PEI sensation was pace/trip compromised & flashed plenty late in a much-needed Big M acclimating mile, so we’ll expect more from mid pack
