Race 1: Driven to Compete (#4)

• Earned a respectable 111 TimeformUS Speed Figure for his return at Parx despite losing at odds of 2-1.
• The two horses who dueled with him last time lost by margins of 16 and 19 lengths.
• Should appreciate stretching back out to the one-mile distance, at which he’s won both prior starts.

Race 3: Wonder Stone (#2)

• Showed promise as a 2-year-old before heading to the sidelines.
• Is bred to improve on grass as a half-sister to a turf winner, and being out of a dam who is a half-sister to Bricks and Mortar.
• DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past 5 years, Wesley Ward is 12 for 37 (32 percent, $2.94 ROI) with horses switching from synthetic to turf sprints.

Race 8: Midnight Disguise (#1)

• Ran deceptively well in her return in the Biogio’s Rose, closing wide against a rail bias.
• Should relish the stretch-out to 1 1/8 miles, given her size and the fact that she won going this far in her fourth career start.
• Would benefit from a fast track, so be wary of rain in the forecast.
