Race 1) The picks:
1-3-5 Confidence
level: 7
Need a Hotel?
#1 Dancing Tin Man 3-2 has a pretty well established bounce
pattern going w/ this race being the bounce back race so he looks like the one
to beat here w/ that type effort..
#3 Austin Laviva Baby 5-1 put in a solid run to take his grass
debut last out so if he improves here while stretching out to make his route
debut then he could be in the mix for a lethal combo.
#5 Big Stick 5-1 probably needed his latest as he came off a rest
so he may improve for a barn that does very well w/ similar
Other contenders: #4 Star Player 5-1
Race 2) The picks: 1-8-7
Confidence level: 8
#1 Spanky Fischbein 6-5 has the class & races that put him there
if he is ready off a break for a new barn that can win w/ similar, call.
#8 Call Me Larry 4-1 has improved w/ each race since his return &
if that trend continues here while he rises to tackle better then he could
threaten in here.
#7 Law Enforcement 4-1 probably needed his last as he came off a
break so he might be the one to fear in here for a hot barn.
Other contenders: #2 Frontier Sky 8-1
Race 3) The picks: 3-4-7
Confidence level: 7
#3 Indian Hawke 8-5 may be the speed of the speed here & this one
likes to win so he could take this field a long way, call.
#4 Fearless Vision 9-5 drops off a rest to a better level today
for a strong barn that does well w/ similar so he gets the call here.
#2 Run With Me 4-1 probably needed his latest as he came off a
rest so he should improve for a barn that does very well w/ similar, especially
w/ the class drop he takes here, tough @ a price.
Other contenders: #1/1a Contessa Entry 6-1
Race 4) The picks: 3-5-2
Confidence level: 6
#3 Mucho Macho 2-1 bounced last out after a huge debut run 2 back
but he could easily rebound here for an ok barn, call.
#5 Cheetah Trail 3-1 ships in off a break for a new barn & this
one has some solid numbers showing in his lines so he looks like a solid threat
here.
#2 Run With Me 4-1 probably needed his latest as he came off a
rest so he should improve for a barn that does very well w/ similar, especially
w/ the class drop he takes here, tough @ a price.
Other contenders: #4 Tenacious Star 6-1
Race 5) The picks: 7-3-6
Confidence level: 5
#7 Unbridled Trip 7-2
drops in w/ MCL
foes for the 1st time while
making
his 2nd off a rest for a barn that can win
w/ this kind so this one may be the one
in a wide-open affair.
#3 Hostile Takeover 4-1 has the turf runs & fits class wise but he
seems to prefer nibbling a bit more than winning.
#6 All Verese 4-1 could be sitting on a nice effort here in his 3rd
off a break for a barn that is going well here.
Other contenders: #9 Westward Go 12-1
Race 6) The picks: 3-6-7
Confidence level: 2
#3 Captain Backfire 4-1 has a turf pedigree & could improve w/ the
move to the grass for a barn that knows how to win on the green.
#6 Iron Curtain 4-1 bounced last out in his 2nd off a
break after a solid run off the bench so he could rebound for a solid barn,
dangerous.
#7 Beneath The Crown 4-1 always looks like a threat but almost
always finds a way to lose, so a minor award seems more likely..
Other contenders: #4 Senor Musician 6-1
Race 7) The picks: 3-1/1a-9
Confidence level: 1
#3 Quixotic Lassie 4-1 has the class & efforts that put him there
if he is ready to go off a break for a barn that does well w/ similar, threat.
#1/1a Galluscio entry 4-1
both bring
different things to the table in here & either one could
get the job done.
#9 Ommadon’s Storm 5-1 moves turf to dirt here in his 2nd
off a rest for a sneaky barn that may have him sitting on a career try today.
Other contenders: #2 Singapore Court 6-1
Race 8) The picks: 9-1-7
Confidence level: 5
#9 Fearless 3-1 has a turf pedigree & could improve w/ the move to
the grass for a barn that knows how to win on the green.
#1 Baronial 3-1 put in a nice run in his turf debut last out & if
he needed that run he could be tough here as he comes off the bench for a tough
outfit.
#7 Alabama Man 4-1
probably needed
his
debut last out but
still ran ok
& now
he
stretches out to make his
route debut for a barn that can win w/ similar
so he
may be the one fear
the most in here.
Other contenders: #2 Storm Harbor 5-1
Race 9) The picks: 1-6-7
Confidence level: 7
#1 Better Talk Now 3-2 probably needed his last as he came off a
break so he might be the one in a contentious feature.
#6 Red Rocks 7-2 ships back to the US where he has had success @
this level but he will need his best to get the job done.
#7 Curlin 9-2 has turf in his pedigree & goes for a barn that can
win grass & w/ similar but @ low odds he is worth taking a stand against.
Other contenders: #3 Mission Approved 5-1
Race 10) The picks: 8-9-5
Confidence level: 5
#8 Grantor 3-1 put in a nice run in his turf debut last out & if
he needed that he should be tough here, especially if the projected pace stays
as is, call.
#9 Smart Enuf 7-2 cuts back after showing some turf ability so if
he can get going early enough in here he could be a major player.
#5 Fermi 9-2 has all the tools to come out running for a barn that
can win w/ similar so he may be live.
Other contenders: #3 Ranger James 6-1
