Race Nine:
ALVERNIA gets my tepid nod in this difficult to handicap 7-panels finale. This Violence-bred bay filly finished up the track in her last against somewhat weaker. Yet hark, a rider switch. The most capable Dylan Davis is in the irons. That could make a big difference in enhancing this filly’s chances of getting her picture taken in this 40k MC state-bred race. This Medaglia d’Oro-bred 3-year old had been running in MSWs prior to her most recent outing. Gary Sciacca trains this Pulpit-bred. A recent, sharp 3-panels work bolsters confidence. Others:
