Tuesday, April 25, 2017
RACE ONE (DOUBLE - 1-6, 1-8, 7-6, 7-8 PICK-5 - 1,7 w 6,8 w 2,4 w 5,7 w 1)
7-SHADYS ART...outside post, yes, but field is short & can catch live cover off quick panels. In a bit easier.
1-DREA’S GOOD POWOW...in new hands for this, drew the rail and recent form has been decent. Big threat.
4-SPORTS EXPERT...cut some serious mustard in last and hung on gamely in late stages. Steps up a notch.
RACE TWO
8-GALLEY WENCH...expect her to blast off the gate & try the wiring act here. Prominent in last several starts.
6-PRINCESS DELCINE...sat chilly a bit too long in last & got shuffled. Prior showed very strong pace in lane.
2-SPORTS FIRST LADY...not much on paper these days but can rattle some cages if she gets some live cover.
RACE THREE (PICK-6 - 2,4 w 6,7 w 1 w 4,6 w 1,4 w 3)
4-BENNS SCORE KEEPER...had a very tough journey in last when he went looking early & hung out long way.
2-MAJESTIC WON...gave nice hine in last showing sharp backside trot that continued right to the finish.
5-CELEBRITY LAMPERT...been showing a tendency to leave lately. Found spot early then “even-steven” after.
RACE FOUR (PENTAFECTA - 5 w 2,3,4,7 ALL THE WAY)
5-BAD ANGEL...was used VERY hard making the top in last which took toll. MUCH easier spot, post 5 = win.
7-BIG VALLEY SPEED...rare miscue last. Likes to join the fray from the get-go. Prominent with a clean mile.
2-UPTO A DREAM... held firm until deep stretch against tougher in last. Should enjoy close up journey here.
4-FLASHY LADY...got away with murder in last (:59 half) & cruised home thereafter. Closing in on $400,000.
3-PC’S ALLEYWAY...seems to be in a bit tougher in her but recent form still good. Tiring a bit late in late win.
RACE FIVE
1-LAYER CAKE...mare needed last to tighten up & wasn’t ready to go 1:51 & change, anyhow. Great spot here.
4-SCIROCCO MILEY KAY...left like a rocket in last and hung in there surprisingly well late in very quick mile.
6-EXCELERATED SPEED...doesn’t seem to get much respect at the windows but always gives good effort.
RACE SIX (PICK-4 - 4,6 w 1,4 w 3 w 3,10)
4-GOLDSTAR ROCKETTE...huge mile in last & nailed final stride. Gets nod here as she drew inside of main foe.
6-MACHIN MARLEY...got picture perfect handling in last & got nod in stirring stretch duel. On the engine here.
3-SUE’S NIGHT OUT...paced 1:23 & change the final 3/4s of her last mile. Has done well in this class before.
RACE SEVEN
1-TWIN B SPIKE MAN...getting very sharp now and stays put in same class he defeated last week. Rail helps.
4-SAND SWAN...had a difficult journey in last but got composed after the half & put in decent effort. Danger.
8-POP MY BUTTONS...been over her head last couple & now dips to more amiable situation. On the engine??
RACE EIGHT (DOUBLE - 3-3, 3-10)
3-REAL TEMPTATION...got away in good order in last, pulled too early for 2nd time and was hung out to dry.
1-HILLBILLY KID...cut some brisk panels for class in last and out-kicked in final stages, Rail keep cozily close.
2-HILLCREST BIGDADDY...gave nice hint in last showing strong pace in final stages. Can rattle cages late.
RACE NINE (SUPER HI-5 - 3,10 w 3,10 w 4,6,9 w 4,6,9 w ALL)
3-CABO REAL...in a very enviable situation as he gets in on NW clause against lower class. Good effort in last.
10-SHAMDEROCK...should relish the class here even from 2nd tier post. Will be catching cover lats lap here.
9-DUNGEON DRAGON...is getting into the habit of tossing in some very stout final panels. Can “make” ticket.
4-A FOOL FOR MARK...warrior has returned to solid form in recent--and doing so with different strategy.
6-MY ROBERTO...pulled turn 2 in last & churned forward final 9/16s of the mile to upset at 84 to 1. Fits well.
