Lane 1 and firm for the turf on a course which received some rain yesterday afternoon and this morning. It's currently partly cloudy, but there are scattered showers and thunderstorms in the forecast for this afternoon.
The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is $333K heading into the ninth, which is the fifth turf race scheduled on the card. Morning line favorite Celtic Singer is dropping from $40K to $16K, and could be construed as a standout in the mile and sixteenth tilt if she's anywhere near right. Hidden Appeal was a stalking second in an identical spot the last time she saw action in October, and leading rider Eurico Da Silva has the mount. The hot second-leading trainer, Norm McKnight, sends out Unrivaled Soul, who was beaten in double digits in both of his starts against tougher.
Petite Amie is scratched from the ninth.
Sunny Singh is off his mounts.
