Nice try by PIQUET last out. JV stays and the inside post out of the chute on the inner seals the deal for me.

DANIELLE'S PRIDE - SCRATCH - interests me. Her form isn't the best but she goes first-time for Donk from the two-hole for a trip and catches a significant rider change to Irad. That makes a great flier for me.

DREAM PASSAGE is a head scratcher. The ascending figs are encouraging but she still hasn't matched her best from when she was two and obviously when something went wrong. Stepping out with Rosario after a good try at 7 furlongs is nice but the 8-hole is not a good place to be in here and she's one for five in the $$$ on turf. Tough ML fave to like.

Third over for ELEGANT JEM off a top fig in her first route try. Juarez up for Morley.

Is the chalk much the best from post 7 on the inner? She's off the board in all three turf tries at a route. I'm not convinced but I'll rub my rudder with her defensively.

Inside on the inner is my cup of suds.

ExBx: 1/4

ExBx: 1/4-8

P3: 1/2-4-7/6

Cold P3: 8/4/6

DD: 1-8/4-7

Inside on the inner for a chicken dinner!

I really thought that PIQUET would be the 4/5 horse.

I get the $10.00 zacta and some win tix with the 9/5 "overlay" up against the 4/5 dud.

Some DDs take off and so does a P3 off the single in Leg 1.

I feel like I'm working with the Bee Gees in just Staying Alive.
