RACE COMMENT
WHATA OPTIMIST (6) finds an easier race compared to recent assignments. He is a strong chance of storming home late if at his best.ITS OUR SECRET (4) returns from nearly a month off. She is a big threat if she can run her best and hopefully a month off has freshened her up a bit.ITZ BLACKJACK (5) and TRUE BLUE ROSE (9) are also chances.
