[private]
Â
Track was playing fair yesterday.
Make sure you have the correct race day because Saturday's will also be posted sometime today.
Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
2 Flashy Green  blocked on the turn in 1st ever on conventional dirt in his latest or competes for the win...basically whole career fits fine here
1 Fire In The Wind  placed well over his head in last...call it a tune-up....race 2 back fits fine
3 My Johnny Cash  running at cheaper venues but very consistent.....trainer wins at a 33 % clip over the last few years but is 0 for 6 so for at SA....he's due
Â
race 2Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
3 Alala  decent debut and then ran a very strong 2nd lifetime race on the main track....bred very nicely to appreciate sprint turf racing
1 Nana Beach  formful sort appears to be peaking as indicated by a strong recent 4 furlong drill......might be sitting on her lifetime best
4 Warren's City Art  not much in MSW debut run way back in Oct......but training like a much improved sort.....decent turf pedigree
6 Tribal Beauty  showed a small touch of life in her 1st turf run 4 weeks ago......will need quite a bit more today if she wants to compete for the winners circle
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
2 Dee Dee's Legacy  ultra consistent low level claimer didn't seem to fin the off track to his liking....toss it out....good reassuring recent drill supports this
4 Beyond Loaded  way way wide in last when last seen on New Years Day....good fresh history
1 Flashmans Papers  very consistent animal on conventional dirt....and more importantly 3 for 4 at today's distance
8 High Perch  15 to 1 in layoff last suggests this gelding wasn't fully cranked up in his last...seems highly likely we see more and maybe enough horse todayÂ
Â
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
6 Big Shot Syd  not much more to say then 2 wins and 1 2nd (by a nose) in 4 non-Stakes races on the turf all at today's distance...also a jockey upgrade
3 Red Eye Express  appreciates the front end and looks like he can get it here....last looks like a nice tune-up Â
1 Ryehill Dreamer  off 2 months but training like an improved horse......has never been this far but is sure bred to get the distance or more
Â
race 5Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
5 Shezabigbroad  best set of drills I can recall for a Puype filly State-bred MSW 1st timer in many a moon...sure seems like a good one according to her work regiment
8 Excessively Trick  blinkers on today and training like a much improved filly.....new trainer takes over and has a shot to be 1 for 1
7 Finish Rich In Nyc  fell off in last but gets plenty of time to right the ship....owns some past strong races many of which are somewhat hidden efforts
3 Brave Journey  OK debut and will need to move forward and get a good trip to compete for the top prize in this spot
Â
race 6Â Â Â average clarity
2 Asperity  2 for 2 since Sadler took over the training and the recent terrific drills suggest 3 for 3 is a good possibility...also seems to love the 1 mile distance on the sod
7 Kris Silver  much improved work tab of late and Hollendorfer smartly steps this seven year old up a notch
4 Red Alert Day  somewhat overdo drop puts this gelding in a spot he can excel.......trainer is good 3rd out after a layoff so it sure looks like...sprint....sprint....go in a route
1 Stoneside  been sprinting for quite some time but is proven at 1 mile on the grass....exits a somewhat key race
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
7 El Martillo   keeps flattening late at a 1 1/16....cut back to 1 mile looks like a real good fit...and most importantly exits an alw race where the winner came back to win the SA Hcp
2 Uh Oh Bango  last was a very solid sprint prep off of the 10 month layoff for this quality Owens horse.....1 mile is also a good fit for this colt
6 Sterling Outlook   appears to be a "lead type only" and he has a shot to clear and get what he needs
Â
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
1A Judy's My Angel  plenty of foundation put into this Warren 1st timer...and then finished off his work series with a solid 4 furlong gate work...sure seems ready for debut run
11 She Can Roar  best set of works for a Becerra 1st timer in quite some time...rather sure meant and ready
2 Benicia Beauty  3 lifetime races run and the only the one that stands out is her lone endeavor on convention dirt
10 Line One  only lifetime race was run last August and it wasn't bad...sure seems ready off of a prolonged tightly spaced wind me up series of drillsÂ
7 Zee Chris taken back a little in last (1st time Rosario) and it made for a forward move......that race fits and any move forward would be icing on the cake
