Average looking card today but average is good enough. Good Luck!
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
5 Katy's Kitty   1 for 1 on conventional dirt.....drops....sharp 5F 2 of 98 drill at Hol......seemingly well meant and ready
3 Sambora  good opportunity to go after a loose lead......slow things down......and wire
2 Tripped The Light  very consistent sort on any surface......Rosario has a good history on this horse and sticks with him
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
5 Indigo River  has grass experience overseas showing promise in 3 lifetime starts......has drilled 3 times in the a.m. on the sod here at SA.....no one else in here has ever raced on the turf....sure seems like a big plus
4 Lasso From El Paso  good forward move in last on the dirt at Tup......bred to handle a sprint turf race....trainer is waking up
1 Indecise  done little wrong in 2 lifetime starts....laid up since September but has put in plenty of work in the a.m.......pedigree is OK for the sod....trainer is solid with a horse first time on it
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
2 Orbach  last win was 2 back and it was turf to Aw.....turf to real dirt for today....and he sure seems to prefer conventional dirt courses
3 Wild Revenge  just claimed by Canani and he sharply puts him on the dirt.....only race on conventional dirt (albeit on a surface rated sloppy) this gelding popped his lifetime best
6Â Star Dance M DÂ Â runs best with a couple weeks rest and that is what the scenario is for today.....jock had a great Fall......is cold this winter.....no pun intended.....due to awaken
1 King Cola  down down down the claiming ladder where he will end up nobody knows
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
1 Jack Reacher  last race was decent for this level...but what I am looking for is his effort 2 races back....maybe back in 12 days rest can help produce that effort/energy/fig....owns good speed in an affair lacking it
7 Warren's Tiger  best ever and it is quite good for this level is his lone race ever on a fast track conventional dirt race......and it was at SA.......laid up since early August but working very well for his new trainer
11 Just Meteor  drops for MSW to the bottom......owns big early speed on the turf......can be on or near the lead if he reproduces the early foot on the dirt
5 Gordy's Dream  1st timer is training well enough to possibly be dangerous in his lifetime debut
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
2 Lovestealer  proven on the grass in a sprint.....ran a very solid 1st ever at a route in latest which was on the AW.......so.....1st long on the sod sure looks like a good thing
5 Sabouli  turf sprint prep in layoff last.....1st ever at a route today but is bred solidly to handle it......Puype is really heating up
4 Special Charm  all 4 lifetime races are par like efforts for this level....pedigree suggests he should prefer a distance of ground....might be sitting on a forward move today
7 She Spirit Di Su  decent form in GB showing promise in both lifetime races........not worked much for Callaghan so my guess is this is a tune-up.....but if it isn't he is as dangerous as anyone in this field
Longshot Possibilities:  1 Real Sharp  very strong late finishes in both lifetime starts which were in turf sprints....bred to get a mile....good post.....might fly late with more ground available to get up in time
race 6Â Â Â below average clarity
7 Elusive Schemes  solid works.....to say the least......for his new trainer Mark Glatt.......runs well fresh and is fresh today......good sign top jock stays with the horse
2 Buyer's Remorse  good history on conventional dirt and sure seems to run better in two turn races
6 Seven Torrents  new trainer drops this GG invader....doubt this is a tune-up because he would probably run this gelding at a higher level if it was.....dangerous sort
1 Rocket Roan  invading trainer from Tup has a very nice record with route runners......tossed a bit of a clunker in last but his 2 previous ruins at Tup are quite strong
race 7Â Â Â above average clarity
8 Talktoomuch  work tab hints this Mitchell charge is ready off of the layoff......last time this mare ran on SA hill she popped a very impressive over-powering effort
7 Long Lake Krista  total lack of early speed in this race and this filly seemingly has the most.......2 for 2 lifetime in 1 turn races....her only 2 wins
3 Whisper Louise  route figs fit well here......ran sprints last year in GB....seemingly good spot for the blinkers on as this race lacks speed and the blinkers can help her focus and sit closer
4 Cute N Sassy  might need this race off of the 8 month hiatus from the track.....but she fits if she doesn't
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
Note:Â Very difficult to split my 5 selections here. But the morning line on the 6 and the 9 sure would make for a wager (or key around) if we get the morning line or better.
