8 Earnings Release(L) 121 Castro 6-5-2 Jerkens 5-1

Purely Majestic was a willing second in last and should have more to give in second start since March. Why Take A Chance has failed as the favorite in last three starts; short price once again. Evan's Rocket was a dud in last but is dangerous on 'A' game.

Anna Sophia was overmatched in last and will be further aided by cutback to 7 furlongs. My Perfect Light was fast-figured second in last and now makes first start since claimed. Strategic Missile was a front-running winner in last and could play out as the main speed once again. Preach Tome Daddy is right in the thick of this on 'A' game.
