WO - 8/29 live

R2

big balloon possibilities here.

:13:, Mist Opportunity: premature move going 6.5F on the turf last month with the same jock. Has a nice maiden win going 8F on the turf last year. Good shot at long odds.

:2:, Cafe Elektric: DaSilva off, Husbands up. But Attfield hasn't been himself this year. chalk

:15:, River Lemon: cutting back from 12F, where he made a nice move between 6F and 8F. Will be coming late.

:16:, Stangrthanfiction: Seems to have run himself into shape; without much help from the clueless trainer. Could surprise.

R5:

:6:, Vicar Street: led and faded against better

:12:, Piscitelli: coming out of same race as 6; nice wide move to contention

:10:, Empire Rising: led and caught late

:9:, Mark's Soul: should get a piece

[Itamaraca]

Oh boy. Took the 6 1st and 2nd in tris/exactas. Didn't realize that the 5 was Husbands/Casse -- not like I don't bet that combo enough. Not only busted up my tri but dead heated for 2nd and halved a $160 exacta. Deadheating and losing a ton in payouts is getting to be a bad habit. 10 got 4th.

R6:

one I should really stay out of

:2:, Buy With Gold: Chircop just won one. Never been 9F but I like his last race. Should be able to work out a stalking trip.

:9:, East Point: legit 9F runner. Hopefully doesn't get cooked dueling with Contreras.

:10:, Withdrawal: Contreras/Casse: wired last out going 9F. chalk

[Itamaraca]

10 got left at the gate; tried a wire bid on the turn. 9 was wire throughout and dueled with the 2 till late stretch, where both collapsed. What a moronic display of race riding by these clowns. 9 was TONS the best here.


ran 7-5-9-1

R7-8

have no real opinion in the 7th -- nothing like a bunch of plugs trying to get a distance they can't -- and a strong one in the 8th. try to get the double

R7:

:6:, Inspired Devil: loose then quit bad going 9F last out. Doesn't instill confidence but these aren't much.

:5:, Styrie: 6:5 on this one is comical. Stretching out after a few sprints; and his route was nothing to write home about. The weasel DaSilva is up and I have to use him.

:1:, Tapping My Way: the only other one I feel reasonably confident could outrun Arabians going 2 turns.


R8:

:7:, Silver Hoofbeats: only 7F horse in the race. Depends on whether she breaks or not. Trying blinkers on her tonight which is a BAD IDEA imo. If she breaks, she wins.

:11:, Dehere's Lass: very nice debut effort going 7F. But the two since have been awful -- especially the last one going 8.5F.

:5:, Magnificent Image: likely chalk. Penna couldn't get a win out of this one and now Minshall gets to try, again. Good luck with that. Appears to be dropping.
