Â
6th race recommended pick 3 part-wheel
2,3,4 with 1,2,3,4,5,7 with 5,10,15
Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
5  Misinjennuous  logical drop.....good work series....bred decently to handle her 1st run at a route
2 Warren's Nina  very bad trip hides this one's major wake up in last......only 4 year old in the field seems like a plus going long
7 Pegastorm  debut run 11 weeks ago wasn't too bad.....good work series since then.....bred to handle a route
Â
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
7 Samba Rooster  25 months off for this big drop down but popping bullets in the morning and Baffert is in total win mode like we haven't seen in a long time
2 Dee Dee's Legacy  could end up in the garden spot behind a lively pace.....only 8 races in 4 years but a good series of drills suggests he is in decnt health
4 Smokenomore  way to fractious in the gate before his last poor start....toss it out......earned a significant fig in his race 2 back
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
5 Mr. Gennaro  very positive rider switch and exits a decent heat where he lost by 3 lengths....nice tightly spaced work series has all wound up and ready to roll
3Â Lucky Mr. KÂ Â solid set of drills for this 1st timer....GG trainer started out red hot and has tailed off a little lately....may break that trend here
6 Buddha Belly  blinkers on may help this gelding immensely.....ran 5 wide and then bore out in his greenly run debut...trains like a runner
4 Stakin Stewart  bred to be a precocious runner and the works suggest he may be ready
Â
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
1 Triumphant Flight  runs well fresh....runs well for Espinoza.....and can sit off what should be a vicious early pace with 2 of the fastest early speed horses on the grounds (in the 3 and the 4) knocking heads in this 5F affair
4 Sea Of Pleasure  unreal 1/2 on the grass in last....might get away from the 3...then again might not
Â
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
5 Westwood Pride  2 solid efforts on the lawn in Florida and catches a soft punch for her new barn and new racing circuit....seems significant that Bejarano takes the mount...he hasn't been accepting too many lately
7 Glass Of Red  has done little wrong in 3 lifetime route grass races......new barn and M Garcia sticks with horse...good sign for this horse that runs well freshÂ
1 Sky Chant  OK efforts in 6 turf and dirt sprints....bred to prefer route racing so a move forward to her lifetime best may occur today
8 Usually Super  on the right end of the learning curve....freshened up and training up to snuff for 1st grass and route race...bred fine to handle both
Â
race 6Â Â Â average clarity
4  Mind The Minister  seems to have found a new home on the AW.......can get a nice chase position in this race void of speed
2 Captain Kali  only speed in the race and gets in light with a high win % apprentice up....a very dangerous thing usually
3 Remus  seems like a logical to start earning some "feed" $....closer does have to overcome a paceless looking affairÂ
6 Waafi here is a deep closer who did overcome a paceless race in his last to win...will have to do it against slightly tougher here
Â
race 7Â Â Â below average clarity
4 Brookie Girl  tepid top pick in a difficult affair to decipher....mare has won her last 3 sprint races albeit on the main track...has proven in the past she can run on the sod
3 Sweet Sophia  has won 2 of her 3 lifetime grass sprints....morning works suggest a happy and healthy horse patiently waiting for a spot to run in
1 Terrify  best speed in here may be able to get loose on the front end
7 Came West  very nice 6 furlong sprinter on the dirt......last looks like the gimme to be fit and ready for her 1st ever on the grass....bred well to handle it
Â
race 8Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
5  Mister Jazz  debut effort 2 back fits fine here.....last out beats these unless somebody makes a big forward move.....3rd out.......
15 Olympic Magic  improved nicely in last......and has a very strong set of works since for Ron Ellis who has had a great Hollywood meeting
10 Aeroman  very positive switch in apprentice riders for this gelding who ran a nice 2nd in his latest
7 Connagher  useful debut for this 4 year old......another with a positive rider switch...potential is there for a solid move in the right direction
6 St Patricks Appeal  surprisingly decent maiden claiming debut at 82 to 1.....can build off of that start and gets a nice 7 lbs off with the switch to an apprentice who recently had a confidence boost with his 1st win
