Casita, The Royal Music Try for Second Wins

Two recent maiden winners top the field in a $10,850 allowance at 300 yards tonight.

Casita, a 2-year-old Red Hot Rhythm filly, won in the second start of her career for the Don Ryan Revocable Trust and trainer Jesus Enriquez. Bred in California by Ryan, Casita moves from the inside to the outside and gets a new rider in Alex Bautista.

A week before Casita won, The Royal Music earned her maiden victory, winning by a length at 4-5. The Royal Quick Dash filly has never been worse than third in five starts for owner-trainer Felix Gonzalez.

Rounding out the field are Shreds And Patches, Sin Till Late, Wylackie Spirit, Got Some Fortune and Easy Launch.

The picks: 1. Himes. 2. Key Line. 3. Secreta. 4. Smith Rock Road. 5. Star Sixtynine. 6. Murrieta Red. 7. The Royal Music. 8. First Dance Dasher.

Four! Use Himes and Heza Quick Dash in the first, the entry of Key Line-Laural Wood and Rubbertigerpants in the second, Secreta, Sixes Quick and Ur Noble in the third and Smith Rock Road, Nieto De Debonair and Ole’s Shadow in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: BR First Sign makes his third start after a layoff for trainer Jaime Gomez in the fifth. Azuzenas De Amoy debuts in the eighth and is from a winning barn (Juan Aleman).
