Not totally enthused with card as I see it being pretty chalky but Race #7 could produce some big balloons. Good luck to everyone!
Race 1 1-3 … #1 Hello Juliet- should have a ground saving trip and with a good amount of pace in the race should rally for the win. #3 R True Talent- off almost a year and ran ok at Tampa but now they try GP. Easily could have stayed at Tampa so maybe they know they have an ok one here.
Race 2. 4-5 … #4 Five O One- his 2 races off layoffs and his 1st start were all wins. Now coming back off 6 months with good works and he could easily win as he is proven off the bench. #3 Li’l J – is speed and Navarro 1st claim where he wins at 25%.
Race 3 6-8 … #6 Seize- Servis,Ortiz and Dubb equals win often. #8 Fig Jelly– is really good,the other Servis trained and ran a great 2nd to World of Trouble.
Race 4. 4 …#4 Brilliant Light- is a standout in this race. Biancone starting to become pretty hot , horse is on the drop has tactical speed and should toy with this field.
Race 5. 2-5 …#2 Jordy’s Ready- should be able to handle the extra furlong where everyone else looks iffy. #5 Mizzen the Cove- is a guess but Peter Walder trained wins at 26% going turf to dirt. 5.
Race 6. 5-7 … #5 Sammie Sunshine- on drop and loves GP. Has run races that can easily win this. #7 Right On- only has to repeat his race on August 18th over this same surface to win.
Race 7 6-11 … This is the race where I see a price coming in so only going to use 2 bombs here. # 6 Dah Philly- trained by Matz and sired by Gio Ponti goes back on turf where he ran the worst race of his life. But I don’t think Matz would try him again on turf if he did not think he could handle it so giving him a shot at a big price. #11 Too Much War- owned by Midwest and been facing way better and could just win at a big price.
Race 8 11-12 … #11 Grandmas Favorite- drops in class, trained by Wesley Ward and should beat these with a repeat of his prior races. #12 Macho Blue- bullet works a month ago but off almost a year. Has shown flashes of speed in the morning so will use just in case he breaks and never looks back.
Race 9 2-9-10 … #2 Pass the Butter- on a big drop and should run well against this group. #9 Park Ridge Bunny- gets 1st time Lasix and has dangerous speed. #10 Diamond Majesty- was in way over his head last start. Now back to where he belongs and could be tough.
Race 10 10-4 … #10 Barbies King- finally gets on turf where he belongs being out of City Zip with some speed. #4 Come on Venezuela- 3rd off layoff and has been bet hard in multiple starts so someone thinks he has talent. Today might be the day to win against this very suspect group.
