[private]
Handicappers Corner
Oops...Hollywood races next week....Yesterday I said Del Mar started next week....I can read the form but I guess I'm not so hot reading a Calender
Â
Recommended pick 3 part wheel starts in the 4th race
3,5,6 with 1,5,7,8,9 with 4,8Â Â Â 30 bets
Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
8 Tweebster  has enough speed to clear and wire the field...unbelievable hot trainer/rider combo
5 Squad  showed he is a legit racehorse in last...1st turf and bred fine for it...1st time long is a concern
4 Brave Zulu  not too many trainers are capable of getting a 1ster ready to run competitively in a route race in their MSW debut...Mandella is and they drills say ready
2 Hog's Hollow  needs a move forward and may get it with 1st time Bejarano shooting for the riding title
Â
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
10 Chavez Ravine  big works say ready fresh off of the bench....good on or near the lead position
4 My Man Murf  seems to appreciate the somewhat specialist distance of 7F........7F today
3 Changing  another who runs well at 7F.....needs to rebound a little and may..small but dangerous barnÂ
8 One Vote  bounced back some in last...very dangerous if shows better once again
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
3 Movie Duty  last two races with blinkers off are impressive....loose today with top gun on her back
2 Saanneen  good win in return to the race wars......deservedly steps up....feels good most likely...can once again get a nice chase position
6 Tiz Folly  toss out last.....she was very washy...race 2 back fits fairly well...that washy excusable clunker in her last will help today's price
Â
race 4Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
5 Z Z Warrior  no brainerfor top pick here...monster drills for this 1stertimer and Baff trained...top jock for barn aboard
3  Donato  no brainer no. 2...more big drills from another Baffert 1ster
6 Apriority  Gary Mandella has been hot of late...this colt needs to rebound......and sprinting may make that happen.....MSW debut 4 back was a hugh bad trip effort
Â
race 5Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
1 Sir Dave  smartly drops to earn his keep...top jock stays along for the ride
8 No Dream  another dropping to a more appropriate level
9 Grey Storm  very sharp GG invader has done little wrong on the sod...beat a solid 20K group at GG
5 Victorian Prince will be on or near the lead from the get go....may show much more than last when he acted up at the gate
Â
race 6Â Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
4 Gayego  absolutely loves the Hollywood surface and isn't too shabby elsewhere as well
8 New Bay  broke bad and ran a little wide and still won 1st time for Mitchell at today's distance....training extremely well especially for a guy like M Mitchell.....6 less lbs today
1 E Z's Gentleman  impressive Grade 3 run in last...very sharp animal has a difficult post to cope with...but barn has been magical
3 M One Rifle   MikeSmith has a shot to slow things down up front and if he does he may............go..........all.........the.............wayÂ
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
3 Mallinson Road  NZinvader was really getting good until he bled in his last overseas start...1st Lasix today and training up a storm for 1st time Hollendorfer
1 Seattle Ruler  in very sharp form albeit on the AW......1st ever on the grass but the pedigree says yes I can
11 Amazombie  fresh off the bench and that is usually a good thing for this gelding...closer needs a great ride from M Smith from the difficult outer-most post
9 Street Car  on the improve on the synthetic...training well for that Bafert guy...OK grass breeding
Â
race 8Â Â Â above average clarity
4 Richard's Kid  loves the classic 1 1/4 mile distance....and finally gets a small field to aid in finding a ground saving trip that should end in a big big close
6 Rail Trip  smooth beautiful runner will sit behind a couple of speed horses most likely...pass and try to hold off Baffert's monster...hard for me to split top 2 picks
3 Awesome Gem  will need very best and a good trip to upset the top pair...barn has woken up lately
Â
race 9Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
1 Cadillac  faced better in last 2 and ran credibly....late runner seemingly gets pace to close into
4 Nevada Worrier  both race fit since the layoff.....question is does he have another good run left in him...2 or 3 races usually knocks him outÂ
5 Majestic Diamond  owns some stout/better back figs that would clobber these...3rd after the layoff may awaken
6 Sea Of Pleasure  rocket will be loose and try to hang own
Â
race 10Â Â Â average clarity
12 Rock 'N Rule  good return to the races off a long hiatus from the race track in 2nd lifetime start....solid if moves forward at all
6 Quintons Flash  last looks like the gimme to cut claiming price in 1/2 and go go go in 2nd lifetime endeavor
10 Swingin Jim  new barn and eye popping drills out of nowhere....always a dangerous thing
14 Jacobs Bro  laid up horse but red hot barn
7 Highest Honors  wound up 1ster with tightly spaced drills may be an up-setter
