Handicappers Corner
Recommended pick 3 part wheel starts in the 3rd race
2, 5 with 2, 3, 7 with 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9        36 bets
Â
race 1Â Â average clarity
6 Cosset  never easy to have a horse ready to go a route of ground on the turf in your maiden debut.......this one snatched 2nd in that debut and is bred to handle the added distance
4 Bonnie Blue Flag  should get good early position on or near the lead....Martin Garcia has had been great with speed types in route racesÂ
8Â Za Za Zu
3Â Turns My Head
Â
race 2Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
9 Sir Ben  very sensible drop to help pay some bills (only brought in 7K in 1 1/2 years)......all his lifetime route runs fit here
6 Steel Blue  earned a strong fig with a wide trip in last at today's condition and distance....2 reassuring works since
8Â Brian Boru
2Â Raymanjjohnsonjr
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
2 Ur Turn Dubai  2 straight poor trips given by Rosario hides this gelding somewhat......good rider will be out to make amends
5 Show The Flag  legged up on the turf and drops to lowest level ever.....switch to Pedroza and the only time Pedroza rode was the lone win for this Colt
4Â Rocky Ice
Â
race 4Â Â Â above average clarity
3 A Jealous Woman  4 for 4 on the grass in the win column and maybe more impressively has won his last 2 with strong pace
7 Bootleg Annie  wow....14 for 25 lifetime on the sod and 1 for 1 on the SA hill course....good chance you will get your monies worth with this mare
2Â Unzip Me
Â
race 5Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
9 Beachrock  solid debut for a barn that is more dangerous with 2nd time starters....high % chance we see more today....Bejaranosticks around when he could have rode some others in here
1 Royce  seems poised for his best ever after legging up on the turf and training well since
3Â Eric's Revenge
2Â Silk Screen
Â
race 6Â Â Â sightly above average clarity
9 Bran Jammas  plenty of pace to set things up for this late runner.....needed her last after the extended layoff and just worked a 5F bullet....all set to roll
3 Warren's R Ready  very sharp......barn is hot .....needs to avoid a speed duel and if she does she can be very tough here
 4 A Clever Ten
6Â Samatha's Rule
Â
race 7Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
1, 1a  ENTRY  believe both 1/2's of the ENTRY are ready to fire in their MSW debut
5 Lichtenstein  just short of  8 to 1 in a 6 horse field says that Baff didn't have her all that cranked up for her MSW debut....improved works since....good likelihood we see more today
9Â Indian Jones
3Â Battle School
Â
race 8Â Â Â above average clarity
3 Bourbon Bay  very impressive and superior marathon run in last....I see few reasons he can't repeat that winning effort
2 High Court Drama  strong Grade 2 effort in last at 1 1/4 miles.....breeding says he can get another 1/4....prominent thru-out
7Â Unusual Suspect
6Â Lease Of Life
Â
race 9Â Â Â below average clarity
4 Strikingly Sinful  consistently tries hard and he is 1 for 1 at today's distance........good trainer/rider combo lately
5 Precious Duke  impressive eye to eye duels in last 2 and continues to train as if those hard efforts didn't take their toll
8Â Ministers Altarboy
3Â Little Ruler
Â
race 10Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
3 Bombing Two  all 3 races on the Pro-ride in 2010 fit solidly at today's level....also gets 2 lbs off...expecting another strong effort
7 Desperate  not a lot of speed in here and this filly has some...ships in from GG off of some solid efforts
8Â Rev Her Up
10Â Cantana Perez
11Â Lovely Lolly
