[private]
Handicappers Corner
2nd race pick 3 (trying to beat the morning line favorite in all 3 legs) recommended especially considering it is only 12 wagers
3,5 with 2,5,8 with 2,4
race 1 slightly above average clarity
1 May Day Rose like the fact this well worked 1ster was just purchased in June....Baff knew was he was getting...not quite like the risk of buying a yearling
4 Sarah's Secret Walsh 1ster is working s if 100% ready to roll in her debut into the racing world
race 2 average clarity
5 Naughty Mariana bad trip in last and now a very positive rider switch...smoother trip and the same energy win this
3 Irridescent Red fronts on in last and it sure moved this filly forward with an effort that is better than par for this level
6 Costa Marta will need to move forward a little to take this and may with the solid rider and trainer involved
race 3 slightly above average clarity
2 Scorsese broke a little slow and ran wide in his maiden debut last....Walsh should have even tighter for today
5 Oh Now another with a tough trip in his last......barn has woken up some
8 Bell Zone solid debut run in last and good chance to show more in his 2nd lifetime start.....good close on a somewhat suspect rail
3 Fortunate Appeal two strong races effort/fig wise but why drop this one.....the one to beat if still as sharp/sound as before but I have may doubts
race 4 average clarity
2 Alpha Kitten sure like her races at today's distance.....can get a nice ground saving chase position
4 Sweet August Moon major wake up in last and sure has trained sharply since
race 5 average clarity
12 Jiggley NOTE I GAVE FIVE PICKS HERE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHO IS GOING TO DRAW INTO THE FIELD.....extremely sharp animal has enough speed to clear from the outside...man is he working well
4 Colgan's Chip best ever in latest and the series of drills since suggest this gelding has held his good form
13 Hey Elvis very consistent sort will need a clever trip from his outside post....right jock to accomplish the task
5 Swift Winds recent sharp drills suggest a rebound for this gelding...fits as well as anyone in here if he brings his "A game"
1 Yankee Station vast improvement in latest fig wise 1st time with that nasty equipment change "gelded" ......1st on the sod but owns solid grass breeding
race 6 average clarity
6 Seeuat Sticknstein bombed in his 1st out on the turf....back to the AW where his effort 2 back sticks out
2 Good Brother just claimed by West is a very solid 1st out after the claim and he gets that Bejarano guy to ride
4 Realy Uptown chased one of the fastest speed types on the grounds in Winter Cap and paid the price in late stretch....no one in here like that speedball
race 7 average clarity
4 Woodman's Luck earned an overwhelming fig with a bad trip in a Stakes race in latest....repeat of that race and an OK trip takes this
1 Mi Marino what we need here is his race 2 back which is solid here....blinkers on and a good work series he can be prominent from the get go
7 Shane Daniel nice near miss 2nd in his maiden claiming debut last...smartly steps up....expect even more effort today
5 Thunder Of Zion useful MSW debut run in last but more importantly training great since...very impressive 6F drill 9 days ago...come on Joy Scott
race 8 above average clarity
4 You Lift Me Up should get a perfect ground saving chase or near chase position behind a suspect front runner
1 U R All That I Am same scenario as our top pick
6 Bran Jammas never better and now gets 9 lbs off...can upset with a good trip
5 Ruffled Feathers compromised by a lack of pace in the race but still should be a big factor late
race 9 slightly above average clarity
9 Anga bad trips in last 2 race....worked out to be good figs when accounting for trouble
2 Royal Import solid return to the races in last...that race fits fin and really tough if moves forward 2nd after the layoff
3 My Last Tycoon turf fit and likes the extended sprint distance
7 Quietly Waiting race 2 back is OK...no speed in the race and he has a little with a jock that is good from the gate
6 Courtside Action legged up on the turf....owns a little speed and this race totally lacks it
