Race 10 at Monmouth is the Monmouth Beach S. over a mile for fillies and mares. Annabill is the morning line favorite making her first start for Steve Dimauro. A winner of 18 races to date, mostly in Florida, Annabill will have to hurry to catch the probable pacesetter Maren’s Meadow. Last seen when fading badly in the Azeri S. (G3) at Oaklawn, Maren’s Meadow won her lone start here when wiring the field in the Monmouth Oaks (G3) last summer.

The feature at Churchill is the six furlong Winning Colors (G3) which has attracted a field of seven. With Keep The Peace and Lady Chase likely to set fast fractions the race may set up for a closer. Getting first run may be Dubai Majesty who ran a fine race to be third last time in the Humana Distaff (G1) on Derby day. Coming from furthur back will be Temple Street who bested Dubai Majesty by a half length in the Humana.

Several stakes races are carded today at Lon Star including the Lone Star Park H. (G3) which will be race 10. It’s A Bird comes off an easy sixth lenth victory in the Oaklawn H. (G2) in April and will again attract the services of Julien Leparoux. Jonesboro, who was third in the Oaklawn H and subsequently won the Texas Mile (G3) here may be the main danger along with San Antonio H. (G2) winner, Magnum.
