She showed a great deal of early speed in her debut and easily moved on to this round. I expect she will be going for the lead again tonight and must be considered a major player in this race.

He won his first heat easily, stalking the leader then mowing him down in the stretch. He had the fastest win time of all the winners in the first round and posted a very nice speed rating of 119, the highest of all the horses in this race. If he runs that same type of race tonight he should win this race and at 4-1 that would be like stealing in the tipping contest. The horse to beat.

Another stalking type who should be pressing the pace early tonight. He cleared second in his first heat and wore down the leader in the stretch. The concern here is he may get caught out wide and that will hurt his chances. But, saying that, you can't ignore the fact he did win his first heat so he merits some consideration.

He closed a ton in his first race in the series picking up 5 lengths in the stretch. I don't think you will see him compete early on tonight but he should be closing in the stretch, just not sure he is good enough to beat some very nice horses in this race.

She showed a little late kick in her debut but to me she looks overmatched in this race. This heat is a tough one as 4 of the horses are winners of their first round heats, must pass.

A come from behind winner in his first heat he will look to do the same tonight. His works are not as impressive as some of the other horses in the race and therefor I feel a minor award at best is in his future.

His workouts are average for this race and he did show a little late close in his debut, but he never really contended. I expect the same tonight as he appears overmatched against these four first time winners.
