Handicappers Corner
Recommended pick 4 starts in race 1
1,2,5,6 with 1,2,4 with 3,4,5,6,7 with 4 60 bets but lately we sure get plenty of late scratches so it may end up less of an investment
race 1 slightly above average clarity
5 Cayanna positive switch in trainer and rider should make this youngster with proven ability move forward today
6 Deo's Secret very solid effort/heat in last and a very positive rider switch
2 Twisp good move forward in 2nd lifetime start...2 5/8 drills since...feels good...can move forward again
race 2 slightly above average clarity
1 All Due Respect talk about facing stellar fields in her last 3 races...faces easier albeit older today
2 Our Road Scholar need the effort 2 back and the bullet work in preparation for today suggests we will.....barn has had a fabulous year...sure has been Berrio's meal ticket
race 3 average clarity
6 Coo Cachoo barn likes to win with speed and this colt seemingly is the quickest in here...T C Baze away
3 Mr. Saturdaynight takes the plunge in class and claiming price......so it's that never ending dilemma for a handicapper which I basically dislike with a passion...healthy or not....you might as spin a roulette wheel
7 Lucky Fitz finished up 2009 with an effort that fits well here.......work pattern suggests he's ready for his return to the race wars after a 1/2 year hiatus from the track
race 4 slightly above average clarity
4 Empress Way earned a significant fig with a poor trip in her last which was run on the AW...bred fine for the grass and a route and catches a weak looking group
1 Blue Tambourine good post to get away and hide with a good speed rider aboard
5 Good Virations shows ability on the AW....Bejaranosticks around for 1st ever run on the lawn.....OK pedigree for the sod
race 5 average clarity
1 Bestdressed seems to appreciate the Hol synthetic surface and also is well proven at 7F...very consistent get your monies worth closer
3 Charm N Chuck everything seems to be running their best out of the Baffert barn these days...jock is riding high with extreme confidence...another consistent sort
2 New Bay have to respect any 50K claim that Mitchell makes...gets Bejarano to ride who owns all 3 of this animals wins
race 6 average clarity
8 Sammy's A Runnin' big run 3rd race of career....3 race after a long layoff today....last fits but sure like the potential of much more
4 Eze Does It barn has a terrific history 3rd out after a layoff...that's today's scenario and look who is up....Bejarano
6 Limited Will both sprints with the blinkers on are solid...fresh speed can be very formidable and that is what we have here
7 Detroit Donnie on the improve and needs the trend to continue
race 7 average clarity
5 Victory Pete really seems to fire big when Mike Smith rides...owns two Top Turf grass figs that beat these...laid up but drills say ready and at a price
7 Chocolate Candy bad trip in last hides his form some....1st on the grass but bred decently for it
8 Great Siege was entered in yesterday's Grade 1 and scratched for this easier spot....training as good as I can recall...seemingly sitting on her best
1 Temple City long hiatus from the track but training as if 100% ready to roll....draws a nice post
race 8 above average clarity
3 Blind Luck sure seemed to love the Hollywood AW.....no 14 horse field to cope with here....should be clear sailing in a 5 horse affair.......unfortunately 1 to 5 or 2 to 5
5 Vision In Gold horrid trip in last hides a strong forward move....not impossible if she can show as much run at a route
race 9 average clarity
2 Our Juke Box mega rider switch here has to be worth 3 or 4 lengths...should be prominent thru-out
12 Scrutinizing Kat both races with far outside posts were his best....12 post post...good rider/team
7 Dazzling Razz not a lot of foundation for this 1st timer but it sure is hard to ignore his last bullet work out of the gate
8 The Full Lavino smartly drops to be more contentious and get some of that 40K back...the cost of claiming him
9 Rock 'N Rule been off over a year but is training as if ready....lost about 8 lengths in only lifetime race..worked out to be a number that fits here...small but capable barn...hang on apprentice...big price is not impossible
