Nice to have a seemingly good card after the nightmare that was Thursday's card. Saturday looks decent as well.
Â
On Saturday you will be able to get Sat. & Sun. for the price of one copy which is $10.95.
Â
race 1Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
5 Mayor Marv appears to be wire to wire lone speed in this spot and is capable of chasing if need be
4 Remus giant step up here but this gelding earned it with hand ride easy win off of a long layoffÂ
2 Valkyrie Missile  cut back of 1/2 furlong will help this consistent gelding's staying power
Â
race 2Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
4 Downhill Diva  last was the turf layoff tightener to be full throttle back on her favorite surface the Hol AW....looks very sharp off of 2 sizzling 5/8ths works
2 Excellent News  very strong recent drill and seemingly the controlling speed in the race
1 Lady Sweetness  trainer continues to hold an obscene win % of 45 to 50% so even though this filly is a little short fig wise she is very competitive and in the hands of the sizzling Mr. Mike Mitchell
Â
race 3   average clarity Â
7 Katy's Kitty  needed last....ample speed can sets things up for a strong late run from this versatile runner
6 Afleet Sara  big run in last considering the 2 1/2 year hiatus.....passes on the cond. clm 16K level for the 25K cond. clm level....good hint she feels good with the layoff run under her belt
5 Fullbridled's Sis  good history on the Hollywood synthetic and takes a drop out of alw racing into the hard to pass up conditioned claiming level
Â
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
3 Free From My Ex  on the improve with every start and 5 1/2 furlongs seems like a good fit...good shot for lifetime best tonight
4 What A Goldmine  wide trip in last somewhat hides a move forward....trainer is solid 3rd out after a layoff...and that's what we have here
7 Personalitary  hidden forward move in last and the cut back in distance looks like a plus
5 Smokin Bomb  3 best career races on the main track are at today's distance....Delgadillo has shown he fits this gelding fairly well
Â
race 5Â Â Â below average clarity
6 Vonn Nez  1st ever on the sod but she is a full sister to La Nez who loves sprinting on the turf....last time she ran fresh like today she ran a very hidden par like fig/effort for today's level
9 Slyly excellent debut run in a maiden claimer and now rightfully steps up into a state-bred MSW....turf is a question mark....tuff call on the breeding
10 Little Red Dress  showed some life in lone race on the grass in a route.....coming off best AW sprint to date.....proven enough on the sod to be a factor with a good trip and a small move forward
1,1a ENTRY  both 1 and 1a have a shot in this rather wide open affair on the sod
Â
race 6Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
3 Lutess  exits a fast heat with a bad trip and still snatched 2nd.....takes a small drop....very consistent horse on the main trackÂ
1 Cato Major  exits the same very fast for the level heat as our top choice....previous run was also very strong
5 Small But Mighty  layoff run in last was decent....will need more 2nd out after the layoff to compete for the win
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
7 Visual Intensity  Sise is mighty tough with a fresh speed horse and that is what we have here....this gelding has done little wrong in 3 lifetime starts on the sod
1 Cat Talk  on the right end of the learning curve and the recent work tab suggests this colt will continue development tonight
6 Kim's Leading Man  seems to be enough speed in here to possible set things up nicely for this late runner who has resurrected his career on the sod
3 Very Fair  just claimed off of a dull effort.......needs a rebound...maybe his new connections can get it out of him
Â
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
3 Rich's Boy  so so MSW debut run way back in early spring....new trainer takes over and a hot one in Puype.......works say ready and especially ready for the for this low rent maiden claimer
6 Storm's End  debut was OK...2nd out was an improvement....fits fine with another improvement in 3rd lifetime start
8 Thinking Of Girls   distance of 5 1/2 F fits.......solid recent drill is most reassuring....positive rider switch
1 You Little Devil  trainer is firing albeit with limited starters....race 2 back which was at today's distance is a good effortÂ
