Lane 3 and good (9.8 GS) for the turf on a cloudy day, with a chance of showers.
The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is up to $425K for the 10th, in which Silent Jimmie should be favored after finishing second in each of his last four outings. He's dropping in class from open maiden special company to this OS maiden special/$40K claimer. The debuting Ethanator is bred for speed, and longtime maiden Just Reno is a safe bet to fill out one of the exotics.
Moka Latte is the 6-5 morning line favorite in the $125K Shady Well Stakes, for Ontario-bred 2yo fillies. She's yet to get a Beyer for her victorious debut (5/8 in :59.20) because the time was so slow that the number would be inexplicably-low for a 2yo maiden special dash at a major track, according to Andy Beyer.
Mega Monster was a sharp-looking debut winner in OS company. Glamanation chased the future Schuylerville Stakes winner Dream It Is home when second and fourth in her two races. She's adding blinkers.
The co-featured $100K Toronto Cup Stakes lured just five sophomores, and is carded as race 3. It's a possible prep for the $400K Breeders' Stakes for the Canadian-breds in the nine-furlong turf tilt--Conquest Lemonraid, King and His Court, Final Copy and Watch Me Strut. Night Watchman rounds out the field, and will be ridden by Luis Contreras, who won four races yesterday.
