Wednesday, March 29, 2017
RACE ONE (DOUBLE – 4-4. 4-5 / PICK-5 - 4 w 4,5 w 2 w 1,3 w 1,8)
4-ROCKIN DESIRE…giving strong hints lately with sharp closing punch. Would like to see a bubble far turn.
7-ROYAL J…outside post, yes, but that may be blessing. Has strong brush & no option but to follow live cover.
3-GALLEY WENCH…will be forwardly placed throughout journey. Expect her to leave & yield for garden trip.
RACE TWO
5-DANDY’S DUDUDIDUDU...nice hint in last with sharp backside brush—28.3. If mile in :56 & piece-a winner,
4-SPORTS FIRST LADY…pulled 5/16s out and showed some good pace to the wire in improved effort. On tkt.
3-GOLD STAR LOVEBUG…tried new strategy in last & that backfired. Likes to be off-the-pace much better.
RACE THREE (PICK-6 - 2 w 1,3 w 1,8 w 7,8,9 w 1,5 w 4,7)
2-CELEBRITY LOVER…sat chilly as winner carved out some impressive panels. Looked sharp through the lane.
7-LEGEND FIELD…doesn’t win often but always seems to try hard. Follows live cover & danger off hot panels.
4-PHOENICIAN…not much on paper but did show :28.2 backside quarter. Could “make” ticket on best mile.
RACE FOUR (PENTAFECTA – 3 w 1,4,6,9 ALL THE WAY)
3-SUGAR CRUSH…seems to be in a bit softer here. Can rattle some cages big time when they turn for home.
1-SUE’S YOUR DADDY…drops down, drew well and should be tightened up by now. Good combo to improve.
4-HEATHER…has been driven conservatively last few starts but showing good final panels. A bubble here??
6-NITTY GRITTY…not much on paper these days but did show a bit of pace backside. Cover flow journey.
9-SPORTS EXPERT…actually a decent performance in last holding well after :27 opener. Will be on the engine.
RACE FIVE
1-BISTRO…was in tough spot last but did trot middle half in :58. Has early speed & rail improves 10 lengths.
8-CELEBRITY LAMPERT…may have been put in top spot if had drawn decently. Was grinding on the backside.
3-SAINT PATTY’S DOLL…rugged mare just needs to turn the clock back a notch to be competitive with these.
RACE SIX (PICK-4 – 7,8,9 w 1,5 w 4,7 w 2,3,5,8)
9-GODIVA SEELSTER…grand mare assigned outside but has enough gate speed to overcome. Still the queen!
7-GOLDSTAR ROCKETTE…will be rocketing out of the gate here. Was very gutsy in last week’s mile. Threat.
8-OK HEAVENLY…kept grinding away until getting job done in the final stride. Looks like off the pace here.
RACE SEVEN
1-EMPTY GESTURE…in very rare form these days. Drew well and should be comfortably close throughout.
5-ASHLEY’S DESIRE…gets in on A.E. tag. Not much on paper but paced backside quarter in :27.3. Hinting.
4-SINSPIRATIONAL…back on track after couple months off & showed very stout pace when free in the lane.
RACE EIGHT
7-OK HEARTBEAT…giving subtle hints in recent. Showed very strong pace on backside--:27.2. Flies off over.
4-SKEEBALL…sat chilly much of the mile in last & came home with strong—but non-threatening—pace late.
2-SCIROCCO MILEY KAY…very sharp mile in last setting lifetime mark. Look for another quarter move here.
RACE NINE
5-ALABAMASHAKEY…was in a very tough spot in last but did show good pace backside--:26.4. Giving edge.
8-SEW PSYCHED…only knock here is that she drew outside. Can turn on the afterburners when it counts.
3-MISS DOLLAR MAM…one thing is guaranteed…at the quarter, she’ll be 2nd by 1 ¼. Very sharp these days.
RACE TEN (LATE DOUBLE - 4-3, 4-8, 5-3, 5-8)
5-CELEBRiTY LAMBO…lightly raced 5 year-old needed start badly. Class relief here. Trotted mid-1/2 in :57.3.
4-TOWNLINE MOMMA…giving hints lately. Liked the backside first up grind in last. Compares very well here.
8-HOLY HALIBUT…loved the qually WITH hobbles. Last 3/4s in 1:28.3. Will be on the choo-choo train here.
RACE ELEVEN (SUPER HI-5 – 3,8 w 3,8 w 1,4,5,6 ALL THE WAY)
3-HILLBILLY KID…nothing on paper these days but finally showed a bubble in last pacing 3d quarter in :28.1.
8-TALKTOMECOURAGE…veteran has some pep in his step. Pace on backside quarter was decent. Post hurts.
4-MY ROBERTO…tried cutting the mustard in last two but was out-brushed late in both. Still, can be on tkt.
1-STRONSKI…makes 199th lifetime start. Has the rail and just need a more aggressive drive to be in the hunt.
5-STURGEON SEELSTER…makes 200th career start. Doesn’t win often but can rev it up in lane when in mood.
