Recommended pick3 part wheel to hopefully cap off a good day starts in race number 7  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 /  1, 8, 10, 13 / 3, 5  48 bets Â
Race 1Â Â below average clarity
2 Closing Steps  sure like a young Sadler filly who is on the improve.....bred to handle the grass and the 1 mile distance
1 Super Shopie  fired solid races both on the grass and the AW both times when she was fresh like today......Mitchell most likely has ready knowing that fact
5 Coracao Beijo  usually comes from out of it and puts in her close....has in the past and may need to sit closer in this race lacking true speed types
Race 2Â Â Â average clarity
4  Bilo  looks like he's loose on a track that's been speed friendly this week and has a good shot to......go..........all..........the............wayÂ
6 Orientation Hall  fairly consistent sort has some tactical speed and shouldn't sit too far back early
1 Polish Quest  laid up animal is getting sharp in the morning and looks ready fresh off of the bench...needs more pace than anticipated to put in his best clsing effort
Race 3Â Â average clarity
5 Red Alert Day  race has a distinct lack of speed and Talamo should be able to get a nice position near the front and have plenty left for the stretch
2 Great Siege  good history with Espinoza up and seemingly training as good as or better than ever....should be coming on late
3 Prince Rexy  needed last off of the extended hiatus from the race wars....can show more today especially if she can stay in reasonably close contact to the front runners
Race 4Â Â Â average clarity
6 Tiz Argent  MSW debut effort was decent running strongly after a sluggish start.....now goes long for Sadler who has been doing well off late with his babies 1st time at a route.......strong 5/8ths drill 5 days ago
1A  Warrens Casino Guy  barn is having a good SA meeting and they make a very positive rider switch here....good chance to sit on a near the lead
3 Leaving New York  has consistently trained like a runner....earned a good fig in MSW debut and then run credibly in a key field
Race 5Â Â Â average clarity
3 Came Aboard  proven at a route and most of his career makes him the one to beat here....barn is not afraid to lose a horse...nice history 1st time in claiming
5 Peacock Alliance  on the right end of the learning curve....solid sprint pace in last says M Baze will be on the lead 1st time at a route for this colt...tough rider on the front end
1 Time For Atonement  seems to me that Hollendorfer means business with this youngster working him every 5 or 6 days for the last 6 weeks...somewhat hidden too...better than he appears on paper
Race 6Â Â Â average clarity
7 Past Curfew  high % GG trainer is exceptional tough 2nd out after a layoff....sharp works and a good history at SA
5 Malusita  exits a very fast heat....and runs well with short rest which is today's scenario
9 You Can Dream  strong figs for this level and chances move up greatly if jock can clear or at least get on over and save some ground
2 Suances De Espana  strong return to the races in last....few reasons she can't fire the same or better back in 3 weeks
Race 7Â Â Â average clarity
2 Achak  plenty of speed should set things up nicely for this late runner who is well proven on the SA hill turf course
5 Rainbow Goose absolutely the same scenario as our top choice above
4 Captain Kali  powerful hold dueling in fast pace on the hill in last......works say he's held his edge...can repeat effort
7 Leadstheway  eye popping work series for this Tup invader....Mullins has been stellar with these kind shipping from Az...handled the SA grass course fine last Spring
Race 8Â Â average clarity
1 Unrivaled Belle  proven on the synthetic...training great for Mott...very strong races in the NY...prominent thru-out
8 Stardom Bound  powerful closer gets a better stretch running jockey today...high % barn including in graded races
10 Miss Silver Brook  Canani is solid when he places an alw runner in a big race.....solid history on the SA surface
13 Floating Heart  not the easiest of posts but on the improve and maybe poised for very best 3rd run after the layoff
Race 9Â Â average clarity
3 Laugh Til I Cry  strong pace in debut and looks as if he can get loose and lonely on the lead with top jock up
5Â Â Miss Olivia KÂ Â strong fig in maiden debut and a positive rider switch in 2nd lifetime start
9 Champion Ride  seems like a good claim.....bad trip in debut and showed life...solid rider switch for the new capable 1st after the claim barn
7 Movie Duty  new efforts at Crc last Summer.....lookout city because everything has been firing from the Cerin barn
4 Miss Seamless  broke bad in debut and then showed she has ability after that
