Handicappers Corner
Recommended pick 3 starts in the 5th race
6,7,8,9 with 2,3,7,8 with 2,5,6,7Â Â 64 bets
Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
4 Goymymojoworkin  obvious health issues and I sure wouldn't want to claim but works say this consistent colt has another race or 2 left in him
3 Smooth And Savvy  sure appreciates the Dmr synthetic surface....should be flying late
2 Talk Circuit  decent chance for P Val to be loose on the lead and that's a dangerous thing
Â
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
2 Daylight Storm  good chance to get a solid stalk position or mid pack position in a race profile that doesn't look too good for the numerous front running types in this affair
1 Maybe Yes  closer looks like he will receive ample pace up front to close into
3 Ukandoit  3 wins and 2 2nd's in 5 lifetime sprints on 4 different surfaces.....that is impressive and strongly suggests he will battle for the win once again
Â
race 3Â Â Â above average clarity
3 Serene Sophia  last 3 of 4 works for this Baffert 1ster are out of the gate and that is a strong key for Baffert in my 1st time out record keeping
5 Giveme Onereason  4 straight races in open company and finally back versus state-breds.......long overdo Mr. Solis
8 Phi Beta Heat  horrendous break and ran a bit wide in her lone lifetime race......only beaten by 4.......good drills since
4 Finish Rich In Nyc  works say ready and mama sure has been a consistent producer of quality runners
Â
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
4  Pleasure To Ride  75 % of his career grass races make him the one to beat in this spot
8 Silent Soul  positive rider switch......barn and rider are on fire as a team......does some of his best running at today's distance
2 When We Met  solid efforts when he feels good enough to run back with short rest....today's scenario
9 Big Wig  has won 4 of 6 at today's distance on the turf....just claimed by the hot O'Neill barn....suggests there is a good shot we will see an improved animal today
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
7 Lucky Sis  last race was fine but what we really want is her effort 2 races back
8 Chanturunga  Avila 1ster ran a solid 2nd in yesterday's last...this 1st timer is training as if she maybe ready as well
9 Leslie Rules  good chance to be loose once again...sure looks like she needs to slow it down in order to stick around when it counts
6 Proud Jenny  bad trip in debut versus the boys...believe that was the tune-up to face her own sex and be ready to roll in her 2nd lifetime start
race 6Â Â Â average clarity
3 Church Avenue  significant wake up in last so the trainer smartly steps her up....good drills since her last is reassuring
8 Perfect Vintage  mare has been 1st or 2nd when back in 5 weeks or last when on the AW...last race July 16th
7 Spanish Ice  very nice horse is a major factor if she is ready off of the long hiatus from racing...barn's been firing away with success of late
2 Frequent Fame  keeps stepping up and winning...up again today
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
6 Dynamic Range  excellent figs for this level in marathon affairs....back where Mitchell claimed at 40K
5 Hog's Hollow  just keeps improving one step at a time...bred to appreciate the 1 3/8 mile distance
7 Tripitaka  impressive chase of a strong pace for the 1 3/8 mile distance....well proven running in marathon like distances
2 Teafatiller  easy pace wire in last says he didn't exert himself and it shows in a strong drill since....feels really good most likely and that is most of the battle
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
6 Purgestein  last looks like the MSW gimme to be full throttle go go go in his 2nd lifetime race...sure trains like runner
3 Liquid Asset should can a nice position up close with what looks like a lack of pace up front
4 Swiss Tart  been slipping some but owns very good speed and lookout if he rebounds to his efforts a few races back
1Â Alex TÂ Â decent debut and somewhat hidden with a bad trip....very positive rider switch today
11 Trouble Rules  deep closer will be motoring late and has a good shot at a piece of the pie...a large slice if we get more pace than anticipated
