Best Bet, Race 1
#4 Hollybygolly, 8/1.
Stakes placed filly dropping in class for her second start off a layoff. She closed with the best late move in the field last out and sits right behind the speed from post 4.
Value Plays, Race by Race
Race 2, #4 Mena (4/1). Improved three straight times and already a Keeneland winner, breaking from a good inside draw.
Race 3, #2 Seaside Startup (7/2). Showed real ability first time out and breaks inside with speed. Should move forward against a beatable even money favorite.
Race 4, #4 Shewontbudge (6/1). Has run as fast as anyone in here on dirt and has hit the board at Keeneland. Second off the layoff from a good inside post.
Race 5, #4 Should’ve (12/1). Fastest recent race in the field and natural speed from post 4 in a short turf sprint.
Race 6, #6 T V Time Out (6/1). Two solid, matching races for Asmussen. Not far off the 8/5 favorite at four times the price.
Race 7, #8 Hymn (4/1). The most consistent fast horse in the Phoenix. Nakatomi, a 4 time Keeneland winner, goes in every exotic.
Race 8, #5 Seneca Park (9/2). Two solid turf runs and tactical speed from a fair draw in the Jessamine.
Race 9, #5 Summer Starlet (4/5). Clearly the best filly in the Alcibiades. Find your value underneath with Emphatic and Elewene at 15/1.
Race 10, #7 My Boy Tony (8/1). Three seconds and a third from four Keeneland starts. The value in a race where the favorite breaks from post 12.
