Â
Difficult card today with 5 races rated slightly below average clarity.
Â
race 1Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
3 Streets Of Heaven  ultra consistent sort just was snatched at the claiming box from a good barn 1st out after the claim....4 lbs off a nice plus
4 Warrens Summergold  last looks like a gimme to more safely drop back into claiming.....2 for 2 lifetime when up for a tag
1 My Man Sumo  looks like another decent Mitchell claim......last fits and if he moves this one up then he will be as solid as anyone in here
  Â
race 2Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
7 Cato Major  nice consistent sort.....race 2 back is very strong and so is the rider/trainer combo
6 Kahlua Mist  just claimed and the trainer has won at 1st asking 1/3 of his last 27 claims....not too shabbyÂ
3 Warren's Rose  recent improved drills suggests a forward move is imminent
5 Justincredible  here's your front runner....long layoff....large drop....toss a coin
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
4 Gab Power  excellent history fresh off of the bench including a strong turf run (-3 on Top Turf Today, that means 3 lengths better then par for today's level) at today's 1 mile distance
6 Burns  checked early rather badly and ran somewhat wide in latest....that effort and his route effort fit well if he can duplicate the same in his 1st ever on the sod.....bred fine for the sod
5 Luckarack  many races run on the main track fit with these......turf pedigree is solid
Â
race 4Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
5 O She So  on the improve with every start....last fits well and another move forward is icing on the cake
7 Stormy Linda  races fit well versus this weak bunch but 2 dull works for 3 months off is a big concern
6 Juana Gallos very bad trip in last ....better trip and a small move forward and as good as any in here
1 Dressedtothenines  1st timer is training up to snuff and faces a soft bunch
Â
race 5Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
2 Emily Pearl  well hidden with a trip from you know where in latest....proven she can handle the sod
4 Ez Rachel  blinkers off and man has it woke this one up work wise...shot to see a different horse today
1 Lift Our Luck  toss out poor last....probably disliked 2 turns......sprints on the main fit fine and the grass pedigree is good
7 Forty Paces  in decent form...1st on the sod but bred to handle it....does need to overcome a tendency to hang in the stretch
Â
race 6Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
5 Cantona  very bad journey in last going way too wide and sitting off a very slow pace......sure appears to like the dirt
7 Queen's Rite  decent debut which was on the sod......needs to handle the dirt and should then fit just fine
2 Crispy Cory  decent enough sprinter has enough distance pedigree in him to get the mile distance
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
10 Coo Cachoo  power final time and pace effort in last....2 for 2 at 1 mile on the dirt....wire to wire city
7 Eddie Set Go  needed last off of the very long layoff....must feel good to be stepping up....the work support this
2 Hot Damon  consistent sort continues to train like he is holding his form
8 Cardiff Giant  owns some very strong back numbers and seems to be on the rebound....1st out after the claim is usually a good thing
Â
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
2 Cambina  very bit sprint grass effort in last.......proven at the distance overseas...a ton if hold her form
5 Cathy Crunches  nice sprint turf tune-up....should be primed for today and be prominent from the get go
6 Up In Time  nice efforts in GB last Fall....works say ready for his U S of A debut
Â
race 9Â Â Â average clarity
8 Brace For Impact  solid return to the race wars in latest....trainer has woken up...likely to see more today
2 The Full Lavino  most of career fits fine here....top notch rider/trainer combo
7 Nisus  good effort off of the long layoff.....any move forward and he's as good as any in here
9 No La Hace  dangerous looking 1st time just breezed 5/8th's awfully impressively
