FINAL DAY
RACE 1 The
AQUA REVELATION looks to be the deserved favorite, with
TOP SPEED at the
DIST. and
TOP SPEED on
TURF, and a hot trainer. I'm looking for the upset with the
APOSTLE PAUL. Speed has improved in each of last 3 races and has improved late pace, which should help in this turf route.
RACE 2 Number
VALARTA has
BEST EARLY, BEST CLOSING and
BEST TOTAL speed, and improving late pace. Might be just enough to get her to the winners circle. Will have to overcome the
WOODLANDSWAY who was a beaten favorite in last and showed speed and faded, gets
BLINKERS today.
RACE 3 Look no farther than the
HIGHLY RATED. Another beaten favorite last out, speed has improved each of last 3, has
TOP SPEED at DIST., trainer is
30% 1st off claim,
44% moving up 2 classes,
23% after 45 day lay off and
T/J combo is hitting at 23% this meet, but 59% of last 138 trips. I look for the
MARY CONTRARY and the
ENGLISH RHYTHM, to follow her home.
RACE 4 Not too excited about this race. The
HANDSOME DENNIS and the
BOSS OF ME, seem to be the major players here, but I also like the
SLIGHT EDGE and big longshot
PAVEMENT. Looks like a
PASS race for me. Maybe some small wagers on some prices. Game time decision.
RACE 5 Number
JET BLUE GIRL TOP SPEED at DIST. by a bunch and
32% J/T combo. Other than that, not much for me in here. The
ONE MAGICAL GIRL is one I will watch. For the right price, would be worth a play.
RACE 6 Big price here,
EASTER CHORUS 2nd race lifetime could improve angle, gets 1st time lasix, blinks on and droping in from MSW. Switch of jockeys is not to a TOP jockey, but this
T/J combo hits at 25%. Also the
SECRET MEMO and
MOON RIDE, deserve consideration.
RACE 7 The
KORBAN best closing speed, best total speed and best total class. First time turf is only concern.
DIXIELAND BLUES is a contender I like also. Odds will determine my bet.
RACE 8 Too many
FTS in this race for me. If I play at all, will probably be an exacta box of the
ZENSATIONAL BEAUTY,
KOUKLA and the
STEAL THE LUTE.
RACE 9 Looks like will be a favorites race.
PULPIT'S EXPRESS looks like the real deal here. Too short on the price for me. I'll take a closer look at the
FULL INSTINCT and
VOLKONSKY. Probably end up with a PASS.
RACE 10 Hollendorfer has 2 in here and I like them both. I give a slight edge to the
PRAY HARD over
LIFE IS A JOY. The
is another 44% up 2 classes move and hot T/J combo.
RACE 11 Can't seem to get away from the Hollendorfer/Bejarano combo. The
DANDEREK is a player in here for all the same reasons as I gave before on these 2. But, I'm going to try to close out with a price.
POSHSKY has the best
EARLY and best
TOTAL SPEED, and at a big price, I'll probably take a swing.
Good luck to all who play today. I hope there is some information here that is helpful.
...a terrible/horrible card for a final...
