Handicappers Corner
Recommend a fairly inexpensive play in the 5th race pick 4
1,7,8 with 1,2,3,6,9 with 2,4 with 5 30 bets
race 1 average clarity
5 Ida Of March solid work series has this late runner ready in a spot that can set up for her closing style....also like the small field to maneuver through or around
1 Miss Olivia K exits 2 solid maiden races......competitive runs in all 3 lifetime races
race 2 average clarity
1 Crash Landing terrific history on he SA synthetic...last shot to run on it till Fall.....Jones should have him ready once again
4 Sea Rascal has shown life in all his races on the main track...continues to train like he feels good...positive rider switch
2 Pack Your Bags just claimed and the new barn goes back to Bejarano who knows this gelding fairly well....whole career fits in this spot
race 3 slightly below average clarity
3 Misinjennuous 1st on the lawn but bred for it...last looks like the gimme to be full throttle for today's run
9 Come Home Quick in decent form on the AW and her pedigree suggests the grass will get more out of this 1st on the sod filly
5 Timezone this 1ster is training as if there is a good chance she is ready to compete in her MSW debut.....better than average grass breeding
2 Magic Lantern races overseas fit fine in this spot.....barn has been hot but it is tough to tell if this was is ready for her U S of A debut
race 4 slightly above average clarity
6 Falaise Pocket best set of works for a Koriner1ster in quite some time....has his "go to with 1st timers" jock aboard
1 Mikeymike very fast animal early....tends to fade late....but freshened up for a red hot trainer/rider team...wire to wire attempt
2 Warren's Concept on the improve with every start and will need the trend to continue
4 Alittlebitajustice showing some life in morning for his maiden debut run...hasn't missed a beat in the morning for the last 10 weeks
race 5 average clarity
7 Imperatriz solid grass figs in this spot and runs off a solid better than par race on the synthetic...solid rider/trainer combo too
8 Siberian Heart last looks like the gimme in a non-claiming protected race for today's full throttle I hope they don't me claim go
1 Pretty Kinzie decent 1st race down the SA hill turf course in last....small logical drop helps
6 Phoenician has shown life on the AW in all 3 lifetime races......bred well for the grass......bit concerned about the lack of recent works
race 6 average clarity
3 Dave's Pacemaker training exceptionally well off of the 5 month layoff.......Avila barn has been very reliable when they show big drills
6 Hiho Geronimo horse must really be feeling great for Mitchell to step this gelding up from 16K to 32K because he is sure doesn't seem to be afraid to lose a horse in the claiming box
1 Leedstheway last 2 fits are solid for this level.......takes a significant small drop to enhance his chances
9 Brenthurst if this one is still healthy enough lookout....the races 2 and 3 back figure wise beat this group
race 7 average clarity
4 Red Alert Day very consistent figs/efforts in his last 6 grass races....those efforts if repeated sure look tough in this spot
2 Worldly like the fact this gelding will most likely sit in the rear of the field and relax.......will have a clear run late at a small group
race 8 average clarity
5 Unusually Lucky capable of blistering early pace....strong rider switch to Bejarano....wire to wire
3 Crispy Corey very well bred to appreciate sprints and training like he is very ready for his MSW debut
6 Fun And Frolic same as the above but with lesser connections in support of the horse
8 Jacob's Tiger on the improve and if we see another today this late runner can run on by most or all of them
9 Bold Type will need to move forward by 3 or more lengths for the win otherwise Bold Type will only be competing for a smaller prize
