Race 4: Red Knight (#5)

• Got poor trips in each of his last two starts, racing wide las time and making a premature move the time before.
• Obviously figures to relish this 1 5/8 miles distance, having won going as far as 2 miles.
• Has the tactical speed to get the jump on deep closers like Highland Sky and Pillar Mountain.

Race 8: Noblame (#9)

• Deserves another chance on grass as a daughter of good turf sire Blame.
• Should love this 5 1/2 furlong distance given her preference for shorter trips at Charles Town.
• Has reportedly been working well for this race, on both turf and dirt.
