Handicappers Corner
2nd half of today's card sure seems to be better than the 1st half
race 1 below average clarity
3 Forthreeforeuclid alarming dropper but Miller barn seems to be in a win at Dmr mode and Bejarano stays aboard
4 Veecu horse gets back on the AW surface where he has preformed well in all 6 races on it.......decent work tab should have ready off of the 8 week layoff
7 Ritzville needed last off of the layoff and sure like the fact the barn steps him up a notch
9 Cat Calloway same scenario as our 7 horse selection.......does tend to hang somewhat
race 2 average clarity
1 Our Roads Scholar barn is waking up.....mare is training sharply....good chance to get a desired mid pack position behind what looks like a lively pace
6 Caitie's Secret 2nd after a brief layoff has bee the key for this young horse and that is what we have today...we also have Sadler/Rosario
3 Money Lover filly seems sharp and may be able to clear and get loose on the lead which has been a successful tactic for her so far
race 3 average clarity
7 Move Over Gypsy excellent 1st run on the grass course in last....hot rider/trainer team....can be prominent thru-out
1 Jax El decent close from too far back in her MSW debut....strong likelihood she moves forward in her 2nd lifetime run from a trainer like Abrams
5 Favoloso on the improve with every grass start and Rosario sticks with this closing filly for a 3rd straight race
3 Spanish Bunny good chance to be close up in a ground saving postion in a race that lacks speed
race 4 below average clarity
7 Lola's Lollipop small barn usually sends their 1st timers ready and the work tab strongly suggests that
11 Cosafina Carina price shot continues to work like a runner and races back with short rest....rather sure she moves forward today it is just a matter of how much
2 She'sawontontomato drops out of a fast MSW heat of state-breds....owns good tactical speed and retains a good speed rider in Pedroza
4 Yellow Sticker Sadler 1ster is training well enough to be considered ready to compete in her maiden claiming debut
race 5 average clarity
2 Girl Of Pangaea sharp mare right now and should get a nice ground saving trip
4 Madeline Ruby last was a solid sprint turf prep to be fully fit to drop a notch and put in a good showing at a route on the sod
5 Lady Alex needs to avoid being too close to a possible strong pace or may not last the 1 1/16...good shot if Rosario can accomplish the task
9 Apt To Be Amazing will try to clear from the outside.....chase and save some ground into the 1st turn......would have rated higher if this race was at a mile but have some doubts about her 1 1/16 abilities
race 6 above average clarity
9 Major Smoke put up for 14K in last so why not for 12.5K....last race/fig if duplicated would be tough to beat
8 Magnificent Blend talk about a consistent animal wherever and whatever he runs on....few reasons to think he won't be highly competitive once again...could be a very nice claim
3 Within Reason on the improve and seemingly only one other speed type to put away
7 Seven Point One solid return to the race wars after nearly 2 years away......claimed and steps up a couple of notches indicating the new barn likes what they see
race 7 above average clarity
7 Waveline very consistent grass sprinter can get the same mid pack / stalk position they he has appreciated in the past....Bejarano knows this horse extremely well....a big big plus
1 Porto Marmay love her turf sprints especially at the 5F distance
5 Octavia Blue gets 8 lbs off and adds blinkers.....this speed-ball may be able to clear 2 other very fast animals with those 2 positive changes for a speed horse
6 Dotsy Jean late runner had a small move forward in last....one more and she fits as well anyone in the field
race 8 average clarity
5 Cat Brando on the improve a step at a time and takes a small logical drop to get to the circle of joy for the 1st time
4 Highest Honors broke slowly and went 6 wide in her maiden debut...yikes.....by a new sire but seemingly bred to handle a route of ground.....bomber has a shot
12 Outrageous Fortune horse fits solidly but must get a clever trip from a difficult post
10 One French Kiss flashed very strong pace in his last dueling into submission at 7 furlongs.....shoot to get loose....get brave.... and wire at a route
6 Gobbler's Knob horse fits fine but 0 for 25 wins.....4 2nd's, 7 3rd's....the epitome of a hang-ball
*****NOTE no. 14 Bustanai fits as well as anyone in here if he draws into the field from the A.E.'s
