RACE 1 CLAIMING $15,000 5 FURLONGS (DIRT)

#1 IMA HUFF 4-1 Won easily in 1st start in 5 months; Good last speed figure
#5 BEDAZZLE SEATTLE 5-1 1st or 2nd in 10 of last 13 starts; hasn’t run in 14 months
#9 BOOGIE N AGAIN 6-1 Decent backclass; should get a good pace to close into
#4 ATTAGIRL EMMA 10-1 May be quickest; takes class drop; danger to go wire to wire
#3 FIJI D 7-2 Won 3 straight; steps up in class; 7 of last 8 either 1st or 2nd

#1 IMA HUFF: Showed good speed and late acceleration in return last out. That was a fairly slow day so the fractions and final time are decent, hence the decent Beyer. Has to contest with other speed here but she has been able to rate in the past. Gets a slight nod in a very wide open race.

#5 BEDAZZLE SEATTLE: Fits the conditions perfectly as it calls for non-winners of a race this year. She hasn’t run a race since Sep 2012 but was in great form before that with 10 of 13 in the top 2. Trainer average with long layoffs. Tabs a top rider and good works. Would demand some value.

Also at a price:
#9 BOOGIE N AGAIN: Has run well at the distance and has 5 in the money in last 6 starts. Trainer won with this rider at 15-1 recently. Concerned with front wraps on in last, poor effort and layoff.

RACE 2 CLAIMING $5,000 6 1/2 FURLONGS (DIRT)

#9 COUNTDOWN TWICE 6-1 3rd vs better in last at 45-1; likes distance; surprise package
#5 EMILY’S SUSPECT 12-1 Closed for 4th in last at 12-1; 6 ½ furlongs much better dist
#6 NANO DANO 15-1 Was in way too tough last; drops to lowest level; big closer
#10 SHERIFF’S BIG GUN 5-1 3rd ahead of top choice in last; 3 for 4 in the money at Delta
#1 Z RATE 7-2 Has hit the board in 3 of his last 6 starts; saves ground

#9 COUNTDOWN TWICE: 3rd at 45-1 in last when in for 8k. Winner was a starter allw dropper from OP that went off at even money. Broke his maiden in July with a 67 speed figure and came back with a good 2nd at 7-1 with a 65 speed figure. Both of those efforts would win here for fun.

#6 NANO DANO: Was in for 20k last time out and that was just too tough of company. They went 22.3 and 46.4 during the mile for interior fractions. Only 2 ¾ behind in an allowance 3 back. Has little early speed so he’ll have to start running earlier than normal. Should fit with this level.

RACE 10 ORLEANS STAKES $75,000 7 FURLONGS (DIRT)

#8 BOSS BARNEY’S BABE 7-2 Blinkers on in last and she won nicely at 7-1 at Churchill
#4 BRILLIANT RESCUE 5-2 Two races and two wins both at CD; 125k 2012 purchase
#10 FLASHY CAMPAIGN 9-2 5 of 6 either 1st or 2nd; 12 length win here in last; top trainer
#9 CANTICLE 8-1 Back to back wins at RP coming in; should love distance
#5 SASSY KISS 5-1 Winner of 3 of 6 career starts; won at HAW in last at 3-1

#8 BOSS BARNEY’S BABE: Really like her dirt efforts going all the way back to her optional claiming win at FG and her 2nd place finish in the 75k Stakes at OP. Put blinkers last and she won sharply. Greek Life, who beat #10 Flashy Campaign, was a well-beaten 4th behind her in last race.

#4 BRILLIANT RESCUE: Cost 125,000 as a two-year old last year based on her solid Pulpit and Forty Niner pedigree influence. She rewarded her connections with back to back wins at Churchill this fall. Won by a neck in last but runner-up was well clear of third, who was 7 clear of 4th.

Also at a price:
#9 CANTICLE: Won back to back races against cheaper at Remington Park following a 4 month break for this high percentage trainer. She loves to do her best running sitting midpack and come with one stretch move. Might be set up for a good trip today and her form is rock solid. Danger.
