Woodbine    Race 8,   1 1/16 miles   Starter $32,000  (3:26 ET)

Best Value Play: #3 Psychotherapy (10/1)

Most Likely Winner: #8 Consolidator Joe  (Even)

Other Contenders: #2 Hurry Up Alan (3/1), #6 Jomelo (6/1)

 Analysis: Consolidator Joe looks to be heads above this field and he is coming off a good effort against much tougher. Hurry Up Alan is in top form, will go for three in a row and his chances are even better if he shows tactical speed as he did in his last outing. Jomelo is probably the real threat to Joe even though his last couple of races have been subpar. A return to his form of last fall makes him tough. Psychotherapy has been running very well and faced some tough fields. He may not handle Joe but he can come calling late for a piece of the purse.

Woodbine  Race 11,   6 1/2 furlongs  Allowance 2L (5:56 ET)

Best Value Play: #7  I Wear the Pants (8/1)

Most Likely Winner: #6 Mon Ami Gaby (7/2)

Other Contenders: #3 Aurora Borealis (8/1) #10 Be Mind Phil (6/1)

 Analysis: Mon Ami Gaby has been steady at this level, has shown good tactical speed and looks to be ready to move to another level. Aurora Borealis is making her second start after an extended layoff. Her first race back may have her prepped for contention and she could go off at a good price. Be Mind Phil runs for the successful duo of Tiller-Da Silva and gets a great post for a stalking run. I Wear the Pants has improved with every start and was then claimed by Nick DeToro, who looks to have her ready with a pair of bullet workouts.
