RACE 7:  Post: 3:25 PT Grade: B
Prime Play: 10-Scottish Lassie

Scottish Lassie demolished her rivals in the one-turn mile Frizette S.-G1 in just her second start while earning a speed figure that far exceeds the others in the field.  If she doesn’t go backward, she should win this year’s edition of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, though the outside draw does her no favors, and the two-turn trip will be something new to her. She’s the probable race favorite, but we doubt she’ll go much lower than her morning line of 5/2

RACE 10: Post: 5:25 PT Grade: B+
Prime Play: 11-New Century (GB)

New Century (GB) was the best when he won the Summer S.-G1 at Woodbine in his most recent start.  The English-bred colt produced a relentless late kick despite being fanned extremely wide to win, going away with a powerful speed figure in a continuance of his improving form that began when he captured a listed British stakes last summer.  We’re expecting the A. Baldwin-trained Colt to settle well off the pace and then quicken when called upon, and given a clean trip with some help up front, he should be able to tag the leaders close home.
