ANALYSIS

FIRST RACE

WILD CHATTER facing easier at this N3L level than in her last several tries when competitive in a pair of key races for state breds. Taken to be alon with some help up front. ARELLA PRINCESS no match late for in form Fearless Princess who came right back to win again defeating open $10K company with a 74 Beyer last time. Looks like he may have found a home back on turf. MISSWORLDVENEZUELA holding her form well in both sprints and around two turns but likely to get entertained early by Indian Chaser. Stock moves up should that one come out. J K’s Girl drops a notch in price off troubled trip last time, should benefit from local bow.

SECOND RACE

MARU’S RAVEN ran well in roughly run dash over sloppy strip when launching career four weeks earlier, has since returned with a solid half mile breeze, might just use his experience edge to graduate over a field full of first timers. SHANGHAI SCHWARTZ a $190K yearling purchase at Keeneland September with a good pedigree and some quick looking works on his resume’. Will tab board for further clues. PONY UP one of two Calumet Farm homebreds for team Pletcher, worked a bullet from the PBD gate for this.

THIRD RACE

FORMAL gets plenty of class relief for his third local start, taken to get back on winning track for high percentage barn. BEAUKATI also dropping into a bit more suitable spot after hanging late for twice the tag on 6/11. AUSABLE looks like he is the speed of the speed with Shacklefords Storm exiting much needed try when setting very fast and contested pace off the long layoff.

FOURTH RACE

LAST KISS turns back to what may be his most effective distance, especially if able to rate off the expected speed after dueling much of the way with TIUNA going 7/8’s in their previous encounter. SOUTH never had much chance after a slow start in the slop vs. much tougher last time although didn’t like the way she was trying to get out into the stretch. Did come back with a near bullet work. May stand some catching if able to clear off from much better starting position today. TIUNA logical after beating same kind last time at 7/8’s, must not bounce off such a hard and career best effort.

FIFTH RACE

MARIO’S REVENGE ran well finishing second behind 1/2 King Power in a race which has produced a couple of next out grads. Just a matter of how much that performance was aided by the wet track. TAKEN TO CHURCH was hung wide, failed to fire late as 9-5 favorite dropping well down in company last out. Stretches back to perhaps his most effective distance off the claim for dangerous connections. HANGRY winless in 19 tries but a good check getter, can grab minor share again.

SIXTH RACE

ALLS WELL comes off another good showing with this kind when narrowly defeated by in form Hopetown, gets tepid nod assuming Tyler G. can work out a winning trip from inside. LITTLE CRISTIAN drops to easier spot, switches to more experienced pilot and another knocking on the door right now. NIGHT RYTHM the big question mark off the long vacation and class drop for new barn. Works

say he could be ready while spotted to do major damage off the bench.

SEVENTH RACE

RECENTTRANSACTIONS hard used up front, faded late behind Mexicana, who flattered effort a bit winning again on Friday. Taken to trip out nicely stalking likely pace of logical favorite SARAHTHEQUEENBEE. The latter waltzed to onesided and relatively well graded win off the claim, in the slop albeit against the field where none of the others had a Beyer on their resume’ higher than 42. Hard to ignore but perhaps vulernable at another short price from the rail against much better. COTTON PRINCESS reunites with Vasquez while coming off her best yet. May be on the improve at this time.

EIGHTH RACE

WEEKEND MISCHIEF broke a bit slow from the rail, wound up 5-6 wide turning for home, held on well enough in much needed bow now gets Lasix while having shown huge speed in last two main track works. Could prove upset threat if away cleaner to control pace from today’s outside post. AMERICAN FROLIC outlasted preferred choice while chasing home well meant Pletcher firster Classy Dancer in her bow, finishing on her left lead to boot. Held own in the a.m. leading up to the race with runaway debut winner Florida Fuego. TREASURE FOR GOLD another in a seemingly endless supply of Pletcher firsters who all seem to fit with local MSW co. Has some breeding for the going. Obviously cannot leave out of the equation.

NINTH RACE

Will go with the Pletcher firster BERNADETTA against this modest looking lineup being by Bernardini and a kin to $396K earner Sun and Moon. BLONDE BOMBER has disappointed as the favorite in both previous starts, perhaps the addition of Lasix will make the difference, put her in winner’s circle today. REGAL ROMANCE and Miss Mo Mentum look like they’ve shown some promise in the a.m. Will watch tote for further info.

TENTH RACE

STARSHIP ZORRO, the day’s best, has been freshened off the claim after seemingly running every week for much of the winter. Looked good from the gate in final preparation for his return. Old pro has won nearly as many races as the rest of this field combined. MAJOR KEY and ZIPPING a pair of lightly raced 3yos both of whom are in decent fomr at this time.

ELEVENTH RACE

DREAMINGOFROSEALLA was hung 3 wide dueling with PERFECT STATE and ultimate winner, the 6/5 Elloree Gal, making promising turf bow and taken to improve with the race under her belt. Lightly raced filly could make her 3rd start the charm if able to get the early jump on these. FLYING QUEEN showed enough two back vs. better to merit much respect dropping in with bottom level types for high percentage barn. PERFECT STATE part of the pace.
