Daily Racing Form has served as the most trusted source of news and information about the sport since 1894, and moving forward we have decided to provide a free daily playbook – something that both hardcore horseplayers and casual observers can reference to get informed of each day’s action. 2:20 WO 3rd COMMANDER AT SEA (#8, 15-1) is returning from a two-month absence and note that he can fire when fresh as evidenced by his victorious season opener vs. $10K maidens. Apprentice Adams has been gaining momentum of late and has the mount. – Ron Gierkink | Bet this race with DRF Bets 2:22 GP 4th BACK EM UP (#5, 3-1) didn't have the best of beginnings breaking from tough inside gate launching career on Tapeta, ran on well enough and likely to improve from the effort. Switches to dirt, must respect that bullet gate on the main on 8/22, give one more chance trying the surface for first time in the afternoon. – Mike Welsch | Bet this race with DRF Bets 2:36 KEE 4th WAUNEKA (#4, 12-1), trying dirt for the first time, merits a look at a price in this 2yo first-level sprint allowance race. Her debut came back strong since the filly who beat her, Kilwins, returned with an eye-catching Kentucky Downs stakes win. Set strong pace, beat next out winner of an IND turf-sprint MSW in convincing enough fashion in her second start. The veteran trainer knows what he's looking at, and her dirt training must be good enough to give her a look on the main track. Race not overloaded with pace - maybe she can sneak clear. – Marcus Hersh | Bet this race with DRF Bets 2:56 GP 5th ROSCOE VILLAGE (#7, 3-1) the only three time winner in the field and loose like she should shake free on an easy lead if away running. Tough combo to beat here. – Mike Welsch | Bet this race with DRF Bets 3:48 BAQ 7th STAR FORTRESS (#8, 8-1) hasn't exactly been reliable since arriving stateside, though she has been impressive at times, and she ran an excellent race over this course and distance when finishing strong into a slow pace to just miss in the Sheepshead Bay back in May; stretches back out looking for a better trip after getting wired by a sharp winner in Canada most recently. – Mike Beer | Bet this race with DRF Bets 4:12 KEE 7th COMEDY TOWN (#5, 4-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Marcus Hersh). | Bet this race with DRF Bets 4:35 WO 7th DESIGNATED HITTER (#1, 6-1) put away the other speed and never looked back in a fast (75 Beyer) score most recently vs. NW2 opposition. He's moving up off a claim by a trainer who's had a productive meet and leading rider Civaci has given him a vote of confidence. – Ron Gierkink | Bet this race with DRF Bets 4:44 KEE 8th To these eyes the best part of MECHAYA's (#5, 15-1) sharp debut score at KD came just after she turned into the homestretch and was given a little rein by the rider - whoosh. Really flashed acceleration to go with that speed. Cruised home and proceeded to gallop out like wildfire, lending credence to the idea she'll be able to route. Fast work since that race, and she just might be as good as anyone in the Jessamine while offering double-digit odds. – Marcus Hersh | Bet this race with DRF Bets 5:30 SA 4th The pick six carryover is $83k; this allowance sprint for Cal-bred 2yo fillies is the opening leg of the $2 wager. WE THE FREE (#3, 4-1) meets winners following a sharp debut one month ago. She stumbled only slightly, pressed two-wide, and kicked away. Solid debut win, she has room to improve for red-hot Papaprodromou. – Brad Free | Bet this race with DRF Bets 5:40 WO 9th WETIKO (#7, 4-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Ron Gierkink). | Bet this race with DRF Bets
