Lane 3 and firm for the turf on a cloudy/cool day, with a west wind, for another 12-race card.
Trainer Mark Casse sends out longshots Chuck Willis and Sir Winston in the $125K Grey Stakes, a G3 route for 2yos. The former, a European import, is adding Lasix.
Nashtrick should be favored in his first Tapeta start. He acted up at the gate in both of his outings on turf, a decisive maiden win and a wide third in the G1 Summer. He defeated stablemate Avie's Flatter in the Summer, and that rival came back to romp in the restricted Cup and Saucer Stakes.
Recent debut winner Solidify is a full-brother to Peppered, who was second in last year's Grey before tailing off.
The ninth, an all-gray/roan starter handicap on the grass, is fairly wide open. Macho Dancer, the 124-pound highweight, is the one to fear most, but Daylight Breeze could be rejuvenated off the claim/layoff. Arthur's Pass and Gray Phantom ran one-two in this one-mile event last year.
The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is $11K.
