ANALYSIS

BEST BET: RACE 2, BARROOMBOUNCER

FIRST RACE

SYMPATHETIC may finally be down low enough to get elusive diploma, should race forwardly throughout in a field lacking any real early speed. MO’S GINNY winless in 15 tries, the last three for this tag, but knocking on the door of late. Perhaps best alternative to likely favorite RUN BLONDIE RUN comes off dull showing last time and has burnt plenty of chalk recently though cannot be discount with Jose O. taking back the call today.

SECOND RACE

BARROOMBOUNCER had unfamiliar rider named at time of entry but still the controlling speed for high percentage barn. Should not look back if jock can get him to the front and able to relax as expected. WAVE ON WAVE was hung wide throughout losing best chance when bet to 3/5 last time and in new hands off the claim. Deserves mulligan with same kind. RUN FOR THE CUP adds blinkers, drops, returns to dirt, enough variables to toss in equation vs. this bunch.

THIRD RACE

UNO DUDE well spotted off N2L win dropping for this tag for N3L bow. Should trip out stalking likely pace of PARTY TARDE who returns to the main after failed turf experiment. ARCH LEGACY another exiting N2L win but will have to improve from Beyer standpoint to get to top pair.

FOURTH RACE

SCATNAP beat this same kind at 4-5 two back, well drawn on rail. Hard to look past even at the short price. HIDDEN TO WIN drops to bottom two starts removed from being claimed for twice the price. One to fear. GRAN CHAMA adds blinks for new connections off the claim. Also won open $6,250 earlier this meet.

FIFTH RACE

Taking a shot with INDIGO YANKEE who ran credibly in bow and galloped out like a horse who wants more distance. Working well subsequent to that

start, worth a look at a price as alternative to likely odds on KING ZACHARY. The latter will be over-bet after turning in big effort despite getting knocked around badly shortly after the start. Just a question of whether he can handle the extra ground at a short price. NEW LEGEND should flash speed from this post on stretch,might get brave if able to relax some in front for Saez.

SIXTH RACE

NICKY’S WARRIOR might just be quick enough to get loose from the inside this time around after chasing, tiring vs. same kind last out. May have to hold off INSIDE TRIP who is back at right level

after being over-matched last time. Owns highest Beyer of the lot. Very logical at a short price. ASH FLOWER gets shades, stretches out, figures forwardly placed from outset.

SEVENTH RACE

GAMER GIRL hard used contesting pace last time when well spotted off relatively well graded maiden win. One more chance if able to avoid similar conflict today. SCHMISS drops to bottom for first time after a couple of decent efforts from rail draw with better. OUTOFTHEBALLPARK also getting ample class relief for new barn.

EIGHTH RACE

ZEFIRO an in and out sort but a good fit in this totally wide open spot at his best. LIQUID ALOHA knocking on door under similar conditions and well drawn inside after breaking from outside in last pair. IMMUNITY gets Irad up off a couple of so-so trips since being dropped for this tag earlier this winter. Expecting improvement today.

NINTH RACE

MONEY FACTOR gets significant rider switch off series of good efforts with this same kind. Catches a field lacking in any real speed, Will hopefully race forwardly placed from the outset under new pilot. HIGHLAND LADY perhaps a sleeper after getting a little schooling in her debut. Adds blinkers. Expecting big improvement with a race under the belt. SWITCH IN TIME a giant question mark but gets Lasix and Irad for top turf barn.

TENTH RACE

HARLAN’S HUNCH has been freshened since changing hands via claim box following disappointing try vs. this same kind on 1/20. Turns back a sixteenth, might not relinquish that lead today. DEVISE stays put off the claim after a bit of an eventful trip last time. Showed enough in previous tries to toss in at square price in another wide open one on sod. MILES OF HUMOR was hard used on the front end dropping for this tag last time, would expecdt to see him try to rail off top choice and make one run with Ortiz in the irons.

ELEVENTH RACE

EZPZY LEMON SQUEEZY no match for MISS MONK in her bow but was hung wide throughout and certainly eligible to improve off that effort with a race under her belt. Will offer some value behind MM who also should move forward off that last, strong showing if able to shake loose, dictate pace once again. TAPIT TODAY one of several intriguing new faces in this lineup along with stable mate Compression and War Front filly War Value. Bit of a guessing game with this trio in lineup.

TWELFTH RACE

MEANT TOBE MINE in dangerous hands off the claim, should be dogging likely choice ARIEL B from the outset. Taken to spring the mild upset for hot barn. MOJO’S QUEEN cycling back to beat form but no match for preferred choice on a couple of previous occasions. Still should be sitting in garden spot behind the speed in this one.

THIRTEENTH RACE

ATTORNEY AL gelded since last, gets blinkers, may not look back if those two equipment changes make any difference. DARWISH went for short money at the sales but respect barn with new faces, especially at the claiming level. Watching board for further help. PEKIN also getting blinkers for rem-match with Attorney Al whom he beat out for second money on 1/28.
