Genuine tempo from Pirate leading Our Goddess. Small field but several winning chances. SHADOW EXPRESS (2) has won two of his three starts at the track and, if he brings his best form, he looks the one to beat here. He'll likely settle off the speed but he can let down with a powerful finish. The claim helps his chances. EDGY ERA (6) has been below par at her last two starts but her prior win was solid. She's got no weight after the claim and can give some cheek. It's been more than two years between wins for OUR GODDESS (7) but she joins a new stable for this. HOBO BOB (3) will likely need the run but has ability, while CASTLECOMER (4) often bobs up to win at a big price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shadow Express to win.
