PARX   Race 5,   5 1/2 furlongs   Claiming $40,000 2L (2:13 ET)

Best Value Play: #7 Sir Newcastle (5/1)

Most Likely Winner: #8 Super Slam (2/1)

Other Contenders: #3 We Found Love (4/1), #5 Park Avenue Appeal (7/2)

 Analysis: Super Slam comes back after a freshener with his regular rider and a promising workout. We Found Love gets a boost of confidence from his trainer with a jump in class, and he should be ready in his second race after a layoff. Park Avenue Appeal is a steady performer that always seems to get a paycheck-he should be in the mix from start to finish. Sir Newcastle has been a little camera shy but it is hard to ignore a horse that has run second eight times from sixteen starts.

PARX  Race 8,   6 1/2 furlongs  Allowance 1X (3:34 ET)

Best Value Play: #8 Tanasi (10/1)

Most Likely Winner: #7 Keep Bustin (9/2)

Other Contenders: #2 Two Hearts in One (5/2) #11 Here’s Zealicious (10/1)

 Analysis: Keep Bustin comes in from the Big Apple with trainer Bruce Levine and gets Stew to ride. Great record, speed figures and workouts sound the alarm. Two Hearts in One is versatile enough to do whatever it takes to win and has the experience to win at this level. Here’s Zealicious runs for a good barn with a sharp jock and should be the controlling pace-could just slip away. Tanasi is a battle hardened vet that could get a good sneaky trip from off the pace and at a price.
