Handicappers Corner
Good looking late afternoon card. Not one race rated below "average clarity".
race 1 average clarity
4 Details R Sketchy just missed by a nose in 2009 at Dmr at 5F and that was with a 10 month layoff.....seemingly very fit and the barn is hot
5 Amazombie sure has handled the outer-most post with 2 straight wins from it....ironically draws it for a 3rd straight time....curtains for for some horses but noy this fellow
race 2 above average clarity
6 Miss Picaboo exits a very fast heat in a mid priced maiden claimer that fits well in a MSW affair....claimed and training great
1 Russian River showed a solid close in his lone race back in Jan at FG......1st time today Mitchell in 2nd lifetime starts and the work pattern says he's ready
4 Swift Beauty nice work series says ready enough to in his debut into the world of racing
race 3 above average clarity
5 The Great Atlantic very strong turf sprint in last and bred fine to handle a mile....solid reassuring drill as well...that Rosario kid isn't too shabby
2 Motel Stroll strong stats for the invading trainer with shippers....looks like he can beloose on the the lead
1 Melbisha very consistent sort responses well for Rosario....had lots of pace to close into in his last...will he get enough to today?
race 4 average clarity
3 Binky's Sister good chance can be prominent thru-out on or near the lead.....like the cut back in distance by 1/2 furlong....15 to 1 morning line doesn't seem too accurate...my guess is 10 to 1 is more like it
7 Gavita decent debut at a very sizable price....can sit close and will be formidable if moves forward at all
6 Dancing Lauren should be all set to move forward 2nd out after a layoff....but....decent closer may be compromised by what appears to be a lack of pace in the race
9 Mo Cheese long hiatus from the race wars but lots of foundation in his works suggest he's ready......both 2008 sprints fit well versus this bunch
race 5 average clarity
2 Look To The Sky claimed and given a break in the action and she is training as if it did a world of good....Miller is sending them ready to roll at Dmr
1 Ten's Salty Sally earned a big fig at 7F with a wide trip in her last......previous was rather strong as well....1st at a route and bred to handle it
8 Pokomoke good strong move forward in last.....seems somewhat better sprinting but then again she is sharp ant this in only a 1 mile two turn affair
4 Wood Art significant drop down in claiming price seems logical....barn is off to a good Dmr start
race 6 average clarity
3 Dr. Chen on the improve with every start....pressed a strong pace on a dull inside in last....very positive rider switch today for this price shot
4 Peanut Butter bad trip in last hides a major improvement....solid reassuring drill since
9 Uncle Greg drops a little off the claim but Rosario stays aboard......late runner seemingly gets ample pace to close into
7 It's Superman solid return off of a 10 month layoff.....good shot with any move forward and a good ride from the low % apprentice
race 7 above average clarity
6 Final Mesa 3 different tracks....3 crushing wins....only neg I can fine is W Ward's weak history in Graded races
4 Izshelegal impressive closing run in his lifetime debut and it was in a Stakes race....most likely will get ample pace to lose into in this affair
7 Wickedly Perfect strong win in her MSW debut last......solid 6F work just 6 days ago appears to have her on edge for today
1 She'll Heir on the improve with every start and appears to be training better than ever
race 8 average clarity
1 Cenizo needs 1 to 2 months off and gets it...appears very sharp in the morning especially for this level
7 Pretty Kinzie strong late runner goes back to Rosario who really seems to be a great match with this filly
5 Precious Song takes a logical drop and O'Neill's horse's all seem to be firing hen he uses Gihua in the saddle
3 Shine'n Time solid race in last versus older and it was a solid group of cheap older claimers
2 Dos Vientos new barn takes over and Eurton has put a solid set of drills into this filly...seems ready to show more
