#3 RAISINABOVEONLY should finish much better today as he’s cutting back in distance and adding Lasix, which is crucial in a race with a plethora of early speed. #6 PROWLING TIGRESS has been working well for her debut and possesses a great turf pedigree. #4 KARLI’S NO DEVIL has shown plenty of talent but may be part of the pace war. Ditto for #1 SATIN BLUE.
Suggested bet: Daily Double – 3,6 w/ 1,4,6
The annual amateur rider’s race is always a unique handicapping puzzle. #4 IN PURSUIT OF LOVE drops in class and is the only one with success carrying the extra weight they’ll face today. #1 MR. JONES may get an easy lead and be tough to run down. #6 IDLE CASH gets the only rider with a win in 2008.
Suggested bet: Pick-3 – 1,4,6 w/ 2,5,6,8 w/ 1
#5 GATOR AT THE GATE was caught wide from post 12 in his last turf sprint. He’s drawn much better today and should appreciate shortening up after tiring going a mile last time. #6 WAVE WARRIOR drops in class and shortens up. #8 DANERIC should be close to an easier pace than he’s faced in his last two. #2 SUNDAY PROPECTOR should be fitter in his second start of the year.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 5 w/ 2,6,8
#1 WAP showed great improvement with blinkers added last time, dueling for the lead and holding on reasonably well for fifth at 49-1. This looks like an easier spot and he’s not a need the lead kind of horse so any pace scenario should suit. #6 RIVANNA has a couple of solid sprint tries under her belt. Stretching out for her third start of the year may spark improvement today.
Suggested bet: Pick- 4 – 1 w/ 3,5,8 w/ 4,5 w/ 4,5,6,8
#3 ADARE YOU may well get the lead in a relatively paceless race. She ran well last time to save fifth after bolting. Hopefully the addition of blinkers will cure that problem. #8 FOXYS PERMISO made a big move to take the lead but understandably tired to third last time in her first race around two-turns. She should be sharper today. #5 LACECAP will be flying late once again.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 3,5,8
#5 BOPOLENE has been terrific this season. She should get perfect trip sitting off a torrid speed duel and getting the jump on the favorite. #4 DEBBIE SUE is easily the most accomplished horse in here and she’s in peak form. However, she’s clearly better around two-turns and may just run out of ground here. #1 CITI CHARISSE is the speed of the speed but there should be company early.
Suggested bet: Win - 5
#5 TRIPLEKIN and #8 I’M A HOKIE finished noses apart in a similar spot last time and should be even more effective today with what looks like an inevitable pace duel. #4 BLINK AND DANCE rated nicely last time after running off in his two previous starts. If he can do it again he’ll be right back in the mix. #6 HALF MASK has been sprinting but actually ran his best race around two turns.
Suggested bet: Pick-3 – 4,5,6,8 w/ 3,4 w/ 5,6
#3 SHANNON H shortens up and returns to the main track. She looks best equipped to handle this elongated sprint. #4 HURRICANE CAROUSEL was a good second in a similar spot last time and does have a win at this distance.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 3,4
#6 CREOLE BEAT has been racing very well against tougher and should have no problem switching back to the main track tonight. He’ll most likely be on the lead and prove too tough to run down. #5 COOL DAYS looms the major threat switching a surface that’s much more conducive to his style. #4 FINAL SCRIPT should also sit a nice stalking trip and be a stretch factor.
Suggested bet: Trifecta – 5,6 w/ 4,5,6 w/ 2,3,4,5,6
