2nd RACE GULFSTREAM 1 MILE Maiden claiming:
6 RUTH WONDERS 7-2 -Looks to be a sure thing, but anything is possible with young runners
9 INTERCOM 8-1 Consistent, not likely to win, but hard to keep off board here
7 COUNTRY GREEN 20-1 Addition of Lasix may be all that's needed to hit board here
12 DANCE OF THE TIGER 4-1 Big class drop makes it a "must use" in exotics
2 I CAN SEE A GENIUS 20-1 Ran poorly as a 2 year old in September, has time to grow, and good jockey change
13 KINDA KINDA (Also eligible, not likely to get in)
11 CONSOLACION SUR 20-1 -passes some in stretch, but hitting the board still a challenge
1 KILLARNEY MIST 5-2-We've seen her best, and it isn't impressive
10 JEANNIE S 20-1 -a bit of a class drop may help here
3 LYNN'S PRINCESS 20-1 -already has 22 lifetime starts in April of 3 year old year.
5 DOINITWITHSTYLE 20-1 Fades
4 SHAHADAROBA 20-1-Also fades in stretch

8 LEDA 10-1 Not the best times, but solid
1 HOME FRIES 8-1 Arnold usually does well in the first week of a meet
11 GREAT INSPIRATION 20-1 Good bloodlines, but looks outclassed on form
3 MAESTRO MISS 8-1-Looks solid, but bred for shorter distance
4 HOLY MOMENT 20-1 Horrible on paper, but good connections, and is a 4 year old, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise to do well
5 FILLAZZENE 20-1-ok 4 year ld, but loses services of best jockey still riding in the U.S.A.
7 CITY WAY 20-1 Looks to be a bit less than others here
2 JACK IN THE CAT 20-1 Complete form reversal needed to compete

5 PISCES POEM 7-5 the face that Toes beat her once is only thing that makes odds this high.
9 POPSICLE TOES 3-1 2nd best
6 MISS ZIGGY 20-1 Actually competitive here, and worth a saver bet
4 APPLE PANDOWDY 20-1 Parker always dangerous
1 GENIVER 4-1 probably overbet, but still a player here
3 YANKEE PLAYER 6-1 Even with Ouzts, this one would be short, and stands little chance with Lanerie
4 HITCH YOUR WAGON 20-1 Possible to hit board
8 ARMS RACE 20-1 Class drop may help
2 L'GIRAGE 20-1 Just a bit overmatched
BEST BETS WPS on 5, saver win and show bet on 6: Trifectas Box 5,6,9, wheel 5 with 1,4,6, with 1,4,6,9: Superfectas Box 4,5,6,9, Box 1,5,6,9, Wheel 5,6,9 with 5,6,9 with 1,4,5,6,9 with All
