Handicappers Corner
Looks like a decent looking Weds. card with some quality. At first glance Thurs. looks good as well.
5th race pick 4 part wheels that look worth the investment

race 1 average clarity
3 Hi Ho Yodeler sure appeared to appreciate the Dmr synthetic in her latest with a nice forward move.....barn's horse's have been firing better than their record indicates
5 Cathy's Crunches has done little wrong in winning both lifetime races....will need a small move forward but her recent solid work indicates she will
race 2 average clarity
3 Lutess last is fine but what we really want is her debut run 2 back which would make her difficult to beat here
2 Miss Picaboo 2 strong extremely strong effort/figs for today's level...somewhat due to tail off but "bingo" if she doesn't
1 Grand Mischief solid work series series says Sadler hs this filly all set to roll in her Maiden claiming debut
race 3 average clarity
2 Full On very good speed in a race seemingly set for front runners and P Val is aboard...great combination
4 Cajun Gent broke bad / climbing / restrained..........now drops.....mmmmmm
6 De Car Guy Likes Dmr and showed it in a wake up last run....will need more pace than anticipated to show his best
7 Conga Rock may have needed last...if so....fits fine on the drop in claiming price
race 4 average clarity
1 Winning Desire good looking work series that finished strong at the end says this gelding is peaking for his debut into the world of racing
7 American Wildcat will try to get away from the field and wire using his best asset...his strong early speed
6 Real Heart last looks like the gimme in a MSW affair to leg up...drop....and go in today's maiden claimer
4 No Afillyation solid 6F work to finish his work tab and it was only 5 days ago...good indication off feeling good right now when it counts
race 5 above average clarity
4 North Fork 3 for 4 at the distance and 3 for 3 at Dmr...no reason not to think we won't see another solid Dmr run today
1 Cee's Prime best speed in the race and inside position.....will try to make it 2 for 2 lifetime most likely with a front or near front end score
5 Quillotano very very positive rider switch especially for a horse that likes to do his best running late
2 Sammy's A Runnin' improved efforts with the blinkers on in last 2 sprints....1st at a route...barn is decent 1st time running long
race 6 above average clarity
3 California Flag one of the best turf sprinters in the world...only a nasty nasty speed duel can stop him
6 My Summer Slew improving horse in 4 straight grass efforts according to my Top Turf Today file......may get a nice mid pack ground saving position behind a speed duel or at least a very lively pace
5 Cost Of Freedom 1st class sprinter on the AW has good turf breeding and a good grass drill with the "dogs up" reinforces that...needs to avoid a speed duel with our top pick
8 Stoneside closer will fly if the pacesetters set suicidile early fractions
race 7 slightly above average clarity
7 Crisis Of Spirit 2 consecutive grass mile runs should leg this quality AW filly sprinter up nicely.....last 2 Grade 3 runs are better than they look on paper
2 Pincelada hot barn takes over this filly and it looks like they have improved her according to her morning work...also looks like she should on or near the pace in what maybe a reasonable pace up front
4 Softly Swinging last two races back in 3 weeks rest were solid efforts and that is the rest scenario for today
6 Fund Raiser very consistent sort should sit close and put in another competitive effort
race 8 slightly above average clarity
10 Tribal Nation not the easiest of posts but a positive rider switch...good finisher late and many in here may not be
8 Sammartino 1st ever at a turf route but showed good speed in a grass sprint and with P Val up that sprint speed as a great shot at going a long way
5 Marino's Star had his prep and in it he showed plenty of life...1st long and 1st on the sod but pedigree suggests he will handle 1 mile on the grass
4 Mediterrano steps up after a decent AW sprint maiden claiming debut....bred to possibly prefer the grass....also bred t appreciate two turns
3 Minister D'oro bit short on figs but somewhat makes up for it with smooth intelligent trips...and that Bejarano guy helps some too
