Handicappers Corner
Â
Recommended 5th race pick 4 part wheel for 50 cents
1,7 / 1,2,9,10 / 2,3,5,6 / 1,2,5,8Â Â Â $64 investment
Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
2 Chapman's Peak  everything I know about 1sters from the Sadler barn say that this debuting maiden is primed and ready to roll
1 Rachels Moon  Headley charge showed life fresh in MSW debut last Fall versus a very stout group.....work series suggests his is ready fresh again
6 Zulu King  another Headley laid up maiden that hasn't raced since last Fall and looks well prepared to fire fresh...love those strong 6F drills in late July
3 Duplo Rapido  capable small barn has this 1st timer training well enough to be considered ready to meet the challenges of competing in his MSW debut
Â
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
6 Blue Maiden  just beat 16 horses finishing 2nd at Ascot in June and training exceptionally well for Mandella...probably facing quite a bit easier today
5 Elusive Galaxy  grass sprint races fit for the level....can she get 1 mile and produce the same figs seems to be the question mark
4 Westwood Pride  consistent filly gets the blinkers off today......believe the barn/rider want this filly to take back early to get a better finish late
8 Hermera  both U S of A efforts are somewhat hidden in that there was little pace to close into in both races
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
9 Inverness Cape  potent work series from Baffert who has displayed copious babies that can run this Summer...his barn sure seems loaded...this likes like another
3 Black Cayote  solid debut race and the barn is better with 2nd time starters
5 Mega Heat  Cal bred takes on open company in his MSW debut....works are solid.....believe Eurton must feel good about this colt to put him in open company
8 Bridging  3 straight solid MSW races before having to be laid up.....works suggest he's ready fresh....is proven fresh as well
Â
Â
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
8 Adriatic Moon  earned a powerful fig with a very wide trip in a fast heat in his drop down last.....must have some physical problems because drops again but Bejarano accepting the mount sure hints at him being healthy enoughÂ
5 Swift Demand  broke slow and ran a little wide in the same race as our top pick.....positive rider switch....good history at 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 furlongs...should be a price
3 Engine Sixty Six  hi ho away P Val...trainer popped (big betting action for a formless horse) in yesterday's 1st
4 Gotmymojoworkin  decent return to the races in last....believe he will (needs to) move forward 2nd after the layoff
Â
race 5Â Â Â Â average clarity
7 Late Cuddle   -4 on Top Turf Today...means 4 lengths better than par for today's level......and that was in her U.S. debut.....hasn't missed a beat in the morning since
1 Prytania  explosive stretch run/win 1st time in the Sadler barn...earned a very solid -2 on T T Today...Sadler must have the trump card for this filly who hadn't been showing much
8 Enumclaw  on the improce for her new barn....will need a clever ride from the difficult outer-most 8 hole
4 Zilla  conisistent front runner can chase if need be......needs more punch late...1 mile helps
Â
race 6Â Â Â average clarity
2 Serene Sophia  overcame a bad trip (losing about 7 lengths) to break her maiden at 1st asking......beautifully bred filly should appreciate the extra 1/2 furlong
9 Our Road Scholar  solid layoff route run in last both in pace and final time....1 for 1 at today's 6 1/2 distance
10 Dani Reese  last sure looks like the tightener to be full throttle 2nd out after the extended layoff
1 Lazered  earned a par like figure in last with a wide trip......positive rider switch to P Val
Â
race 7Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
6 Distorted Economy  new animal since the blinkers were added.... exits a fast heat for a nw alw affair in latest with a near miss solid fig 2nd......solid work series since
2 Goggles Mccoy  4 for 4 sprinter now attempts 2 turns.....sure seems like a rateable sort considering he cut out a 24:2 loose on the lead in a 7F affair
5 Gallant Gent  very consistent efforts....good chance to be stalking our 2nd choice in a what might be a very reasonable pace
3 Lions Story  2 for 2 at Dmr....and training super on the Dmr surface in the morning....old timers would say "knocking down the barn"
Â
race 8Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
5 Forty Paces  checked hard on the run-up in last and still managed to be up on the pace...positive rider switch,,,shot to be prominent start to finish
8 Dearly Concerned  barn is exceptional MSW to maiden claiming and the rider/trainer have been one hot combo
1 Intentional  2 useful races under her belt and now drops to where her efforts/figs fit
2 Huntington Harbour 1ster looks as if she can compete in her mc debut into the world of racing
4 Miss Buxley  two gate works to finish off a tightly spaced work series suggest this 1ster might be ready for her debut run
