No. 4 Beach Holiday (8-1) was right there in his last three starts and Katy Cheeks claimed him for $25k last time. The sophomore gelding improved his speed ratings in his recent outings and might be able to step up and compete with these.
No. 2 Heirloom Kitten (3-1) ran well in his last four local routes and he won two of those races. He should be forwardly placed in a race without much early pace and his winning rider Pablo Morales stays put. He is 0-for-9 with five minor awards at this distance.
No. 1 Flight to Paradise (10-1) rallied to win a pair of local route since Cassandra Judd claimed him June 22. The sharp late runner steps up in class and should be finishing at a price.
No. 3 Jo Jo Hans (8-1) exits a wide trip from an outer post in the same local race Heirloom Kitten exits. This is his second start after the claim and he might be closer if able to work out a better journey this time.
