Pompano Monday Pickin’ from John Berry
Monday, January 30, 2017
RACE ONE (DOUBLE - 5-3, 5-5 / PICK-5 - 5 w 3,5 w 5 w 7 w 2,5)
5-MY REVENUER...did not have the easiest of journeys in last going first up last lap. Still in the peak of form.
2-RAMZAN...forgiving last. Lightly raced 8 year-old has quite a late kick when on his game. Must go 1st over.
4-SHE’S ALL IN...mare cut the mustard against same class in last but 30 mph winds in lane took toll late.
RACE TWO
3-FEELIN LILLY...been all over the map class-wise. Showed gate speed in last before yielding. Amiable spot.
5-SPORTS FIRST LADY...been trying hard last couple of starts. Liked :27.3 backside pace in last. Can upset.
6-FONZIE...an “OH-FER” all the way around (16-0-0-0) but has shown some spunk on occasion. “Makes” tkt.
RACE THREE (PICK-6 - 5 w 7 w 2,5 w 1,6 w 1,7 w 7)
5-LUKAS HALL...pulled turn two in last & tried backside move but panel too stiff to dent much. Still, good hint.
7-SOOO HANDSOME...lolly-gagged way back early but started picken’ ‘em up backside with sustained drive.
1-REVRAC HARBOUR...was used hard early in last then sat chilly & got shuffled. Rail keeps cozily close here.
RACE FOUR (PENTAFECTA - 7 w 1,3,4,5 ALL THE WAY)
7-TOWNLINE MAMMA...needed lasts couple starts to tighten up & did show good pace on backside. Hinting.
1-RACER X...forget last. Prior was sharp in an easy win. Probably on the engine from the rail. Prominent here.
4-STRIKER ACE...likes to be in the thick of things. Compares favorably in here to hit the board. On the engine.
5-SAINT PATTY’S DOLL...classy mare down to lower condition class. Has the credentials to turn clock back.
3-TOTAL FREEDOM...showed sharp trot on backside (:28.1) and held on OK in the lane. Can really sprint late.
RACE FIVE (PICK-4 - 2,5 w 1,6 w 1,4 w 4,7)
2-LILYS REAL BOY...doesn’t get much respect on the board but has shown he can compete with these “8’s.”
5-ORATOR...not much on paper these days but can still turn on the afterburners in the lane. Drew well here.
7-ALWAYS A TIGER...in new hands for this after showing good pace final 3/8s. Looks like a “rosie” situation.
RACE SIX
6-SAKIMA...lost composure in the lane in last. Prior showed sustained brush forward middle 3/8s of mile.
1-HOOSIER HAWK...drew well and compares nicely with this group. Could be making a quarter move here.
8-MOON DANCE...will be on the choo-choo train from the outside post to join the fray early. Best on paper.
RACE SEVEN (DOUBLE - 1-7, 4-7)
1-GERONIMO FAME...went up in the air leaving in last. Facing easiest task in quite a while & drew very well.
4-POCKET TRIP...been involved in some serious confrontations recently & finds a very appetizing situation.
6-WITHOUT ME AS...probably on the engine here with more class relief. Was very hot property 6 weeks ago.
RACE EIGHT (SUPER HI-5 - 7 w 4 w 1,2,3,5 ALL THE WAY)
7-PEENIE...warrior in a bit easier this time. Liked backside pace in last (:27.2) but traffic too heavy to dent.
4-JAMAICAN COWBOY...moves up a notch but does well in the “8” to “10” class. Can rattle cages in the lane.
2-PLAYBOOK...wired field of “8’s” two starts back, got caught late against “8” in huge effort. Will cut mustard.
1-McMARVEL...liked that first up backside brush in last (:27.1). Drew well & will remain close throughout.
5-B EVAS LUCKY LAD...VERY hot property lately and form is sharp coming in. Will be gnawing away in lane.
