AS MANY OF YOU KNOW OUR SERVER HAS BEEN DOWN. FOR THOSE WHO WANT A FULL SET OF COMMENTS THEY WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS SO SO CARD UNTIL 12:30 PACIFIC. SORRY FOR THE DELAY. NOT A FUN START TO THE RACE WEEK.
race 1Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
5 Tapfortexas  not only training better recently but is now working at Dmr.....lone route endeavor on the AW is quite a bit better than it appears in print
6 Dontshootthedeputy   lone race on the AW sure looks like a tune-up......turf race 2 back fits well if this gelding can duplicate the effort on the Dmr synthetic....pedigree suggests he should be at home on the AW and that his debut can be tossed out
4 Full Effect  vastly improved route speed in last albeit on the grass......shot to be nice and loose with an aging but still formidable front running jockey in P Val
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
5 Hot Ticket  race sure has an abundance of cheap speed which should set things up nicely for this significant drop down
4 First Queen  very consistent good history when runs back in 3 weeks of last....race 2 back is solid somewhat hidden with a wide trip....late runner seemingly gets what she wants.....pace pace pace
1Â Zippin EÂ Â believe Talamo has a shot with this filly if he takes back on her off of the pace which she shows some signs of being capable of doing...if he send I think she is cooked
race 3Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
7 Ex Lover  on the correct end of the learning curve......nice running style (mid pack or unhurried chase) for this filly which fits the course in lane 1 well
6 Last Sting  believe this filly wasn't all that cranked up for her last and somewhat surprised Sadler with her win.....works since are much better....seems very likely to move forward and fit fine at the nw alw level
3 Kicken Off  long hiatus from the racetrack but coming back under the auspicious of a new trainer and that trainer Canani has her working like a different much improved runner
8 Hard Sun  hard to argue with 1 win and 2 2nd's since the blinkers became part of her arsenal.....Drysdale has had a nice Summer
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
5 Teasing Bernie  bad trip in maiden debut last spoiled the chances of placing in the top 3 at the mdn 62,500 level......a ton today at about 1/2 the claiming level with a smoother journey......positive rider change to get the job accomplished
7 Ride Captain  decent debut last for this Assmussen charge and the trainer has a stellar history with 2nd time starters....should be prominent from the get go
1 Endless Cruise  Miller is by far most dangerous with maiden claiming 2 year old 1st timers as opposed to older and/or MSW 1st starters....works seem good
3 Rare Song  1st time Kichingham after one so so MSW run at LaD for another trainer....blinkers on and the drills are decent.....seems dangerous
race 5Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
4 California Heat  slow but steady progression for this filly.....1st time Bejarano is usually a good thing
6 Bodie Girl  decent chance to sit in a good position close to what looks like it can be a soft pace.....reassuring sharp recent drill
1 Alala  good post.......good rider......and a good distance for this filly whose limit seems to be about 1 mile....can sit close to that aforementioned likely soft pace up front
7 Amelia Rose  race 2 back is solid and the last race looks like a sprint tune-up to be full throttle today 1st ever on the lawn and 1st ever at a route....Puype has solid history with this kind of animal
race 6Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
11 Proud Cardenal   long hiatus from the track but exits 2 very fast heats....works hint he is ready even at the ripe old age of 11Â
5 Looking For Candy  improved pace in last in a route effort that should aid his staying power in today's sprint
12 Morganouska  dangerous layoff drop down who owns solid history/efforts/figs on the synthetic
8 Stand Tall  cut back in distance looks like a good fit and we get a positive rider switch
Longshot Possibilities: 3 Lenadros  caught a very fast heat in drop down last....drops again into easier and gets a positive rider switch
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
5 Kinsale King  recent bullet work and a layoff race under his belt hint the King is back
4 Streakin' Mohican  speed of the speed will have to fly is this race loaded with speed types
2 Ventana  works say ready and may get an excellent mid pack position behind a wall of speed....1st on the sod but mom has tossed 2 grass winners with her other 3 foals
8 Excessive Passion  nasty post but ran from off the pace in lone grass sprint which he won....sharp work tab and Bonde is quite good in Stakes races
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
4 Jeopardy Lady  after 3 straight unplaced efforts in MSW racing this filly takes a logical plunge to the bottom of the mc ladder and catches a soft looking bunch
9 Lovely Sophia  coming off an extended layoff but everything Eurton puts on the track has been running and the good work tab for this 4 year old supports this
6 Confectionist  easily best ever was this girl's lone race around 2 turns....latest sprint looks like a nice prep for today's route of ground
1 Somewhat Evenin  bad trip in last hides a 2nd consecutive good sprint run in a row.....1st ever at a route but a decent post should help
10Â Bayona
3Â Mary Wanna Be
