Handicappers Corner
Decent looking card today
Recommend the 1st race pick 4 (basically being alive to one nice filly in the 4th) 1,2,4,5 with 1,3,4 with 1,3,5 with 7      36 bets
Also recommend this pick 3 part wheel starting in race 1 (trying to beat the favorite in the 3rd leg)Â Â 1,5 with 1,3,4 with 3,5Â Â Â 12 bets
Â
race 1Â Â slightly below average clarity
1 No Dream  gelding is at his best fresh and the works say ready....has the 1 post and speed which can come in handy in this affair lacking speed
5 El Martillo  only win in 14 starts came hill course sprint to a route of a mile....same scenario today...can get good early position
Â
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
3 Naughty Mariana  back in 8 days off a strong run on the sod....back to the AW and Bejarano sticks with this filly
1 Costanta  last race in Feb this filly a bad trip and was claimed that day.....fig sure fits and the new barn has her rested and sharp for her return to the race wars
4 Euro Gal  OK I cheated....(usually we only give 2 horses in a field of five)....solid speed in this spot and like the top two picks she is coming off effort which is better than par for the today's class
Â
race 3Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
3 Warren's Tommy Too  on the right end of the learning curve.....seemingly best work to date in prep. for 1st route run...barn has had a good SA meeting
1 Holladay Road  nice animal dropped to the bottom and fired a nice race....big shot at the win if this gelding can duplicate the effort
5 Warren's Juan in fairly decent form....needs to stop flattening out in late stretch....new rider Rosario might want to take back some early to help keep something in the tank for when it counts
Â
race 4Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
7 Gotta Have Her  2nd in the BC Cup Turf Sprint to our top pick and training as if 100% ready to roll fresh...only loss on the hill in 5 starts was in the BC
3 Unzip Me  impressive eye to eye duel in solid pace in her last...repeat effort with a little slow pace gives her a shot
6 Czechers  very sharp "now" horse will need her very best effort
5 Nadeshiko  needed last and has 2 solid 6F drills since...Sadler is red hot in Stakes races lately
Â
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
2 Make It Mine  good maiden debut effort....Jones is usually much better in their 2nd lifetime start especially with maiden claimers
6 Back Nine Doc  long layoff for MSW drop down but last August she fired a strong effort fresh off of the bench and it was at today's distance
1 Cremedelagold  not the best of trips in her maiden debut last...showed good speed after a slightly slow break..clean break and she might wire today
Â
race 6   slightly above average clarity
5 Tashzara   very solid 1st in the U S of A....most of these kind move forward for the Gallagher barn in their 2nd start
7 S C Song Girl sharp move forward 2nd lifetime out on the AW and bred just fine to dig up the sod...barn has had a big SA meet
4 Triple Cream  good effort in her return to the race wars on the synthetic.....bred to handle the lawn...should be fit and ready today
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
7 Scottish Diamond  claimed back by Mullins seems like a big plus....tremendous record for M Baze on this animal
1 James Prior  really on the improve....can get enough pace to be closing very fast late
2 Sidepocket Lou  horse is on a prolonged roll...app when get his 2nd win
3 Orientation Hall  somewhat short on numbers for this field but sure has been a smooth runner for M Garcia in the saddle
Â
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
6 Lucky Primo  very strong 1st on the grass after a 1 1/2 year hiatus from the track...a ton if moves forward and gets the trip
1 Kalookan Storm  2 for 2 at SA on firm turf.....4 for 6 win at the distance on firm turf...tough rider/trainer team....scored for us at 11 to 1 on Friday
2 Top Feeling  2 for 2 at the distance and won both of those races by 4 lengths....facing tougher but it's always hard to ignore daylight wins on the grass
3 Brushburn  sharp right now...has been ignored at the windows including his last winning as our 2nd choice at 12 to 1
Â
race 9Â Â Â average clarity
3 Warren's Royal Lady Â
7Â Great Bernardine
2Â Jana Gail
1Â Rahy's Ruler
4Â Drizella
