Lone Star ParkSat, June 27, 2026

WILLY D'S (8) was a synthetic winner in a at Turfway Park then followed up with a win on dirt over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park last time. Will find this much easier. Among the leading chances this field. GIGANTE (5) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 2. 25 lengths, over 1m in the G3 Steve Sexton Mile Stakes at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Strong finish expected again here. GIOCOSO (3) has had two runs since a break, the latest a ninth over 1m1/2f in the G3 Arlington Stakes at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 15 lengths. Lay-off so a top-three finish is on the cards. SALINE RIVER (4) travelled on-pace last time out over 1m3f at Turf Paradise Turf and dug deep when pressured but found one better. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from four starts. Solid claims on best form.
