    Race Analysis

    SIMPLY JOKING (4) returned from a break last start with a less than impressive fourth over 1m in the G1 Beholder Mile Stakes at this track (Dirt) after giving away a big start. Finds an easier assignment and can turn things around. NAFISA (5) changes rider since being well held last time in fifth over 1m in the G1 Beholder Mile Stakes at this track (Dirt) on March 7. Capable of a lot more. LEMON MUFFIN (2) returns from a lay-off of ten weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fourth over 7f in the G2 D. Wayne Lukas (Santa Monica) Stakes at this track (Dirt). Has to be respected. SYNTAX (3) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 5. 5 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time out. Is going okay this campaign, recording two wins and a minor placing from six starts. Not to be discounted.
