A decent group of nine will run on the green in this Turf sprint. There is enough speed to guarantee a strong pace. Speed numbers are fairly close with a couple of high speed outliers. It should be an exciting race as the Arlington International meet nears its close.
#6 Mean Intentions (Valdivia / Rivelli) has the edge with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and one bullet workout. This lad has a 50% in the money record from four starts. He should be close to the pace and appears ready to break his maiden.

A fine group of nine will make the start seeking to break their maiden. The race comes up a little light on speed, but there are a few in here which seem to like to be forwardly placed. Speed numbers are fairly close as these gals seek to get their first win. It should be an exciting race.

Furlong Friday at Arlington
We celebrate our Furlong Friday at grand Arlington International. Hopefully we get this first race in before the deluge rains down.
Arlington International Race 1 {6 furlongs~3 year-old Up~fillies/mares~Maiden Claiming}
With some scratches already made, the field is reduced to six ladies. There is sufficient speed to move the pace forward. Speed made be a strong factor in this one with the rains the area had last night. The precipitation ends to tighten up the polytrack thereby favoring the front runners as they stride over the track. It should be a good start to the card.
#1 Sweet Lucy Too (Lermyte / Swearingen) should be favored with the third highest last out speed number and one diligent workout. This gal appears to be in fine form. She sports the best in the money record of 80% from five starts. Expect her to sit fight off the pace and pounce in the stretch.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#7 Due to Grace (Rengito / M. Perez) will challenge with the highest last out speed number and a three race progression. She can show speed or take up a tracking position depending on what develops on the front end.
#5 Jera's Jade (Santiago / Medina) may surprise with a couple of reasonable last out speed numbers. She is dropping in from a Maiden Special Weight race and in distance. Look for her to track and strike in the stretch.
#3 Princess T Party (Beibly / Hellman) comes in from Fairmount Park on the Illinois side of the Saint Louis area. Two races back she ran a splendid speed number over the Turf course here at Arlington. She should be part of the closing party heading for home.
