Race 3: Fully Vested (#9)

• The Pace Projector is predicting that he will be on the lead in a situation favoring the front-runner.
• Got an odd trip in his turf debut at Monmouth last time when he was wide and rank heading into the turn before rallying late.
• Has run some of the fastest speed figures in the field on dirt and would beat this field if able to run those races on grass.

Race 8: Dovey Lovey (#3)

• It’s a good sign that Contessa is bringing her back for a higher claiming tag than the one she competed for prior to the layoff.
• Will appreciate getting back to sprint distances after showing her distaste for routes when last seen.
• Joel Rosario is a perfect fit for a closing sprinter like this.

Race 9: Honor Way (#5)

• Ran better than it seems in each of her last two starts when closing into slow or moderate paces with less than ideal trips.
• Should get an honest pace to close into if Carrera Cat and Talk Veuve to Me go at it on the front end.
• May be catching favorite Talk Veuve to Me at the right time, since she’s looked vulnerable in 2019.
