race 1 average clarity
3 Gentle Romeo you have to be ready with this gelding because when he runs he runs very fast and then back to the farm for some major healing....wins if anywhere the same horse as he was
4 Spirit Of Cochise very sharp horse right now and seemingly runs his best on the Hollywood synthetic
race 2 slightly above average clarity
2 Belleofthebridle 2 year old filly (versus the boys once again) has the best pace, best fig, and best morning work....sure appears superior to these
1 Clubhouse Ride earned a solid fig with a bad trip....caught 5 wide after a slightly tardy start...should be motoring late if Smith makes amends with an improved ride
7 Rdgewick Road good move forward in last.....race lacks speed and this colt owns some....maybe on the chase of ur top pick
race 3 average clarity
1 Cozi Rosie slow developing filly has learned what racing is all about and become a legitimate Stakes horse....good wrk series too....may see best ever today
5 Evening Jewel one of the top 5 3 year old females in the Country on the main track....good turf breeding....personally I would schedule her for the big dirt/AW races thru-out the good old U S of A
2 City To City very competitive filly only needs a small move forward to snatch the top prize
race 4 average clarity
1 Our Shorty earned a strong fig with a bad trip...easily the best at 26-1.......same horse with a decent journey should tae this....come on Atkinson
2 Sammartino both 2010 starts are solid races both in pace and final time....should be prominent from the get go
3 Dance Marino on the right end of the learning curve and now e get very positive rider switch
7 A Moment In Time poor trip in MSW debut or would have been right there at the wire......barn is solid with 2nd time starters
race 5 average clarity
3 Celtic Charmer bet hard in his MSW debut at 6 F on the grass and ran well....2nd out and the switch to Bejarano can do the trick
5 Sky Fox also fired a decent MSW run at 6 F on the grass......good works since....horse will attempt to dominate gate to wire
6 Wisest Cat good close into a dull pace in his last....gets more pace today and should show more 2nd out after the layoff
8 Intuitive Nature 2 nice lifetime races...only needs a small move forward to be highly competitive here
race 6 average clarity
4 Full On shuffled back on run-up and ran wide in latest...blinkers on to settle down...very consistent efforts
9 Smokenomore exits a very fast heat....same effort makes him the one to beat....hate the over used word "bounce" but he may bounce a little
5 Major Smoke solid animal especially for 12.5 claiming....but hangs in the stretch
2 Lethal Dose on the improve and needs the trend to continue
race 7 average clarity
2 Bring It Home 2 straight powerful figs in a row....bad trip in last....need jock today
8 Hughesy simply put.....30 furlongs of drills in 4 weeks says this nice gelding isn't a gimme in today's return to the race wars...very fit and fresh
7 Megastar on the improve with every start...very strong stretch runner
3 My King solid fig run 2 races back albeit in July of 2009.....good speed here and a good price at the windows
race 8 average clarity
9 Dave's Pacemaker very solid morning work and a hot trainer/rider combo.....fit and ready...only question mark is the istance
8 Brenthurst just claimed by a small but capable barn and the get Bejarano to ride.....mid priced claiming efforts fit fine in this spot
2 Tripitaka laid off GB invader is training sharply....Gallagher runners have really woken up the last couple of weeks
6 Imco Spirit 1st one turn race in the USA.....ran well in 1 turn affairs overseas
race 9 average clarity
8 Karelian appears to love very firm turf...welcome to Cal grass racing......ran a strong fig in the BC turf mile...better figs than his competion
3 Gallant Son strong Grade 3 win in last does have to cope with 8 more lbs today...seems at the top of his game
10 Compari needs to shake some other speed today...5 for 5 but easily faces his toughest task today
7 Blue Chagall showed a very fit looking solid stretch run in last...also will need best ever today
race 10 average clarity
5 Nostalgic Bid dropped and added blinkers in last...responded with a powerful race/pace/fig.......repeat of that race would make him difficult to beat
14 Songfoya exits the same fast M50K race as the our top pick...decent chance to sit fairly close and pick up the pieces if our top pic falters
3 Undaunted Rally sure was not an undaunted rally in his layoff last.....drifted in a little and then had to check very hard or I believe he wins....new jock today who often brings home price shots
13 Sufi Dancer new barn and it is Mitchell......showed life last Summer in only lifetime start......trainer has been rock solid with this kind over the 3 years I have covered S Cal racing
4 Lunar Halo laid up 2nd timer starter drops out of MSW and is training as if ready to roll fresh off of the bench
