ANALYSIS

BEST BET: RACE 5, LOVE TREE FIRST RACE

REGGAE REVOLUTION has been well prepared for her bow and catches a pretty weak bunch for this tag. Must get away clean from tough post for beginners. ST. LOUIE ARCH looks like right one if the new faces come up wanting. Flashed speed, faded late finishing well behind top pair in promising bow. SAYONARA BABY comes off improved showing at second asking. Could be ready for best yet.

SECOND RACE

SHE’S RIGHT AGAIN ran well off the claim when stretching back around two turns despite falling far off the early leaders. Expect her to race more forwardly placed today. MONEY FACTOR could hold a pace edge over preferred choice, may ultimately prove one to catch. AQUEMINI appears to have lured Paco off She’s Right Again but a nonwinning sort with 17 in the money finishes but only three wins in 30 career starts.

THIRD RACE

FAST LOADED like Reggae Revolution in opener looks to be well spotted off series of decent works for debut. Tabbing board for further clues. CAT GONE QUICK showed big improvement facing state breds for same tag last time. Back with open company here. ALASKAN another exiting Fla. bred competition but showing promise in most recent try.

FOURTH RACE

SUNNIVA stretches back around two turns upon returning to O’Connell barn. Should trip out well stalking likely pace of Bit Coin Queen. SASSY JUSTICE the logical beneficiary if top one gets hooked early. Exits best yet and much improved showing with addition of blinkers. TRULY another moving forward with experience and who’d benefit from protracted duel up front.

FIFTH RACE

LOVE TREE, the day’s best, drops in company from open to conditioned claiming spot for same tag, too good here at best. HACKLETON finished behind preferred choice last time while making same move to this level, fits conditions perfectly having posted most recent win just 5 days before cut off date. PACHANGA PARTY should take ‘em as far as he goes on front end once again. Might hold on for a share.

SIXTH RACE

BEASAICHI along with runner-up Kozy Kat finished a sixteenth of a mile in front of rest of field when breaking maiden at first asking on the dirt but should handle turf as well being a half to inner winner Sweepeno out of The Big Beast, who has sent out three first time grass winners from six starters in initial season at stud. QUEEN FIELD beat pair of next out winners on graduation day and continues to show improvement in a.m. as well noting recent bullet drill on dirt. TEACHER DRAMA comes off far and away her best yet but not sure she’ll see the lead as readily today.

SEVENTH RACE

KRSTO SKYE makes local bow off game showing last time in Ky. whebn second best behind red hot foe despite somewhat eventful trip. Figures to get nice stalking trip behind speed of Take Charge Dude and Harryhee. NATIVE HAWK never better. Chased home recent state bred stakes winner Travy Boy last time. TAKE CHARGE DUDE back to the main off popular and easy turf score, should come out running off that effort along with Harry.

EIGHTH RACE

COULD BE showed speed, got shuffled, could not overcome the trip when third as 2-1 choice for $12,500 tag here earlier this month. Deserves another look vs. this weaker group. UNLOCKTHEPOTENTIAL another who did not trip out well in most recent outing. Deserves another chance off two previous showings. ANIMAL TRICK looks like controlling speed returning locally for the winter. Might take these a long ways if allowed to relax as expected on front end.
