Sidestepping the top two morning-line faves in Gulf 9, going instead with #4 Double Entendre, #1 Sharp Kitty.

Longshot call to #9 Wilma Lynn in PennNat 5. Likewise to #8 Jaguar Poz in the seventh there.

#5 Alert Bay appears to be legitimate chalk in Santa Anita 2. Same goes for #5 Aaronic Blessing in Woodbine 8.
