Angle: Favorable Odds for a Dirt Route Specialist. We look to upset the favorites with (8) Lil’ Big Munny (5-1). E. Jaramillo (32%) provides a solid win rate, and the 5-1 M/L offers better value than the 9-5 chalk. The key longshot is (1) Starlight Luna (10-1) for the Place spot, who benefits from a favorable inside draw. Box the 8 and 1 heavily.

💵 Race 5: Allowance Optional Claiming
Angle: Zayas Value Over the Turf Favorite. This turf mile pits our choice, (2) Strategic Reserve (8-1), with E. J. Zayas (43%), against the favorite (5) Teleport (5-2), with Gaffalione (37%). The 8-1 M/L is too good to pass up with Zayas. Look for the massive 30-1 longshot (1) I’m Tuff Enough to crash the board and make the 2/5/1 Exacta/Trifecta a lucrative play.
