MTH
R3 - #7 London Lady (3-1) perpetual bridesmaid finally catches a weak enough field to catch the bouquet.
R6 - #1 Catch The Smoke (6-1) I see a speed dual developing here and this guy should be in the perfect spot to pick up the pieces.
R9 - #11 Bode's Maker (8-1) undefeated on the Monmouth turf course. Welcome home, old man.
ELP
R7 - #3 Misread (5-1) looks to have found an additional gear since turning four and showed an obvious affinity for the grass in her first try over at CD.
R8 - #2 Eddie M (12-1) 2 for 2 since discovering the magical quality of Lasix. Not sure if he can improve enough in 3rd off the bench to beat the #7 (Saez wasn't convinced and jumped ship), but the price should be right to take a shot.
WO
R8 - #1 Hard Edge (5-1) can make every post a winning one (although that last half furlong will be a nailbiter...).

PARX
R2 - #8 Lady Sicaria (6-1) I'm not worried about the class hike as she won for fun in last try. New barn is solid when first off the claim.
R3 - #6 Broadwaycharlyrose (3-1) big drop in class is curious, but her usual effort makes her dangerous here.
R5 - #3 Jackie B Good (3-1) she'll be gunning and has a chance to wire 'em as I don't see any pressure coming early.
R8 - #2 Roses For Debra (2-1) is hanging out in Lock City today.
R10 - #6 Hornbeam (6-1) I'm expecting a wet track by the time the finale rolls around and this guy should love it.

PRX
R4 - #3 Substantial (5-1) I get the feeling Ness has been racing this one into shape. Horse is 2 for 3 lifetime at 7f, so will appreciate the added furling in his 3rd off the bench. Looks like a big effort is on tap.
R7 - #8 Jump For Alex (9-2) I'm guessing #4 will be odds on chalk, so I'm going to play against and hope for a bounce. My pick here drops and is shedding 10 pounds with the talented bug.

IND
R5 - #8 Golden Runner (6-1) just missed up the rail after early trouble in last. Should have the pace she needs again today and will be flying late.
R6 - #5 Gio's Baby Girl (6-1) finally broke her maiden a month ago and now goes against winners - normally a red flag to stay away for me. However, she had been in against tough company as a 3 year old and managed to earn $90k while racking up 6 places in 12 races before she finally won. She could easily improve off that victory, and at fair odds!
