Woodbine Race 3, 5 1/2 furlongs Optional $40,000 (2:00 ET)
Best Value Play: #5 Three Ring Circus (12/1)
Most Likely Winner: #1A Imperial Dream (5/2)
Other Contenders: #2 Forester’s Destiny (2/1), #4 Speedy Fox (4/1)
Analysis: Imperial Dream looks to be the stronger part of the Tucci Stable entry, and with recent stakes experience, seems to have a class edge. Forester’s Destiny is another with stakes experience, has some speed and has been training well. Speedy Fox seeks a threepeat for a deadly combination this season and fired a bullet in preparation for this race. Three Ring Circus could get a great stalking trip but the real deal here is that Husbands gets on board for Tiller.
Woodbine Race 4, 9 furlongs Starter $25,000 (2:31 ET)
Best Value Play: #2 Port Severn (20/1)
Most Likely Winner: #6 North of Never (5/2)
Other Contenders: #8 Moonshine Martini (6/1) #9 Divine Sonet (4/1)
Analysis: North of Never should be better prepared to beat these now that he has had a race. Wilson stays up and trainer Drexler does very well with second layoff horses. Moonshine Martini has the benefit of the dangerous Husbands-Tiller combo and should be running late. Divine Sonet has Contreras staying in the irons and should get a good stalking trip from the outside. Port Severn could be easily overlooked, but this jockey-trainer combo was one of the best in 2014 and his back class could spell trouble for the others.
