WHOLEHEARTED SHOT
WHOLEHEARTED (11.15) can power to victory today for thriving handler Roberto Diodoro at Will Rogers Downs.
The mare is in cracking form and she was just a shade unlucky to finish third to
Sunny Dale in a hot event at Oaklawn Park.
There should be plenty more to come from this speedy type who can resume winning ways from a kind draw in Stall 3.
Canadian-born Diodoro can also bag the opening claimer thanks to NOCTURNAL MISSION (7.15). The mare won’t mind dropping back to six furlongs after her good second to Bella Alicita over seven at
Sam Houston. Jose Silva’s TWO THE
PUNCH (7.45) looks deadly in a trappy allowance contest.
And the in-form gelding remains well-handicapped after narrowly beating Doc
Curlin at Turf Paradise a month ago.
RACE THE MOON (8.15) can shine for Michael Biehler in a competitive claimer.
The six-year-old can build on his excellent second to
Aggieville over a slightly further distance here on his return from a break.
Scott Young is flying at present and he can strike again with LONG RIDE
HOME (8.45). This filly left her poor juvenile form behind when landing her maiden in terrific style over course and distance.
I doubt we’ve seen the best of this bold front-runner who can take the promotion to claiming company in her stride.
Jockey turned trainer Young can bag a double with DAISY
CAN (10.45) in a trappylooking claimer.
This filly can be useful on her day and should be fighting fit after what was a respectable fifth in better company at Sam
Houston. Dena Thomas is just starting to hit form so I’m rowing in with ANGEL’S CUT (9.45). The four-year-old is building up a fair record and cosily dismissed the useful Strong Patriot at Fairgrounds last time.
The mare stays on a workable mark and can follow up that success from a cracking draw in Stall 1. AURA (10.15) can extend Steve Asmussen’s winning streak in the allowance contest. The mare is open to progress after her eye-catching third to Okie Queen in a similar event at Sam Houston.
SAVVY SPENDER (11.45) can deservedly open her account for Karl Broberg in the last.
Bookies will donate over £2.6million to NHS charities from the Virtual Grand National profits, after almost five million people watched Potters
Corner win on Saturday.
