Sunday, March 5, 2017
RACE ONE (DOUBLE – 6-1, 6-2 / PICK-5 - 6 w 1,2 w 3,6,7 w 5,8 w 2,5)
6-SANTANA BEACH…made quarter move to the top in last & cut sizzling panels & couldn’t last. Dips down!
2-CARMENS BEST…pulled turn two but 3rd quarter too stiff to dent. Does well drawing inside posts. Threat.
1-SAWBUCK…post destroyed chances in last. Prior, showed very strong pace while double-bubbled 3/8s out.
RACE TWO
2-CHOCOLATE XPLOSION…can turn on the afterburners in the lane. Just needs more aggressive handling!
1-EXPLOSIVE DRAMA…made confident early move in last but it backfired & hung out to dry. Rail keeps close.
6-KEGLER HANOVER…showed some good speed leaving in last & 2nd move backside. Cover flow dangerous.
RACE THREE (PICK-6 - 3,6,7 w 5,8 w 2,5 w 1,2,3 w 7 w 4,6)
7-SECRETSOFTHEKNIGHT…been facing tougher crowds for long time. Dips to much more amiable level here.
3-ROCKIN’ COUGAR…post hindered last but showed good speed backside--:27.4. Better draw, better result.
6-SIR GLOBALOP Z TAM…tried the deep end of the pool in last after claim & found it too deep. Better spot.
RACE FOUR (PENTAFECTA – 5,8 w 5,8 w 3,4,6 w 3,4,6 w ALL)
5-MITT JAGGER…form is very sharp now and in a class where he does well. Showed good pace final 7/16s.
8-CHARMBO CURIOSITY…not crazy about this post but showed he can rattle come cages of live cover.
6-RECORD STORE…showed some decent pace final half mile. Just needs to be not-so-lazy early on in mile.
4-FULL ON ROCKNROLL…will be on his motorcycle when gate leaves. Will be in the thick of it for good part.
3-CARLOS MITTANNA…consistent as they come. Got a little lucky in last when leader jumped it off in lane.
RACE FIVE
5-E R MELVIN…gets nice class relief (makes class by $21). Can throttle when it counts. Hot property lately.
2-GRANDE SEELSTER…won handily on drop-down last start. Moves up a notch & could be on the engine here.
4-THUMPEM…New Zealand bred loves to be in the thick of things from the get-go. Another on the choo-choo.
RACE SIX (PICK-4 - 1,2,3 w 7 w 4,6 w 3,6)
1-KING OF THE CROP…paced final ½ in :54.2 showing sustained pace, especially late. Can upset from post.
2-POINTSMAN…been very solid since return and very reliable for that stout final panel. Likes 2nd over trip.
3-POP COP…steps up after courageous win in last from post 9. Might be reserved early, then a quarter move.
RACE SEVEN
7-INDY INGOT…showed sharp foot early from similar post, then 2nd move backside & held well. Giving edge.
3-ABREATHOFRESHART…missed a week but dips down to a much more amiable situation. Must consider.
1-HEART FELT…gets a bit of class relief and drew well. Good first up backside move in last and held well.
RACE EIGHT
6-DEL RIO SEELSTER…on a serious roll now and after fifth in a row. Stays put in same class. Will be gunning!
4-STIRLING CADILLAC…beat “12,5’s” handily, stepped up and went first up against “15’s” & held well late.
5-DYNAMITE DUDE…solid claimer can turn on the afterburners when feeling right. Catches live cover here.
RACE NINE
6-OFFICERNAGENTLEMAN…warrior gives his all every step of every mile. Probably on the engine to join fray.
3-CELEBRITY SCANDAL…got shuffled a bit in last but did show some solid pace finding seam in the stretch.
5-KINGSLEY B…versatile sort stayed off hot pace in last & roared by late. Could be on choo-choo from PP5.
RACE TEN (LATE DOUBLE - 2-3, 3-6, 4-3, 4-6)
2-RAJI’S BLUE LINE…came back after scratch (sick) and showed great pace final quarter. Now dips a notch!
4-BEACH BLAST…Reliable to turn on afterburners in the lane. Been improving every start since in new hands.
1-FREE LOVE…sat chilly much of the mile then exploded with late pace to just miss. Should be cozily close.
RACE ELEVEN (SUPER HI-5 - 3,6 w 3,6 w 1,2,4 w 1,2,4 w ALL)
3-BUNKERHILL BILL…not much on paper but back down to spot where showed strong pace double-bubbled.
6-SUNSET DREAMER…dips for 2nd time in a row after showing some backside pace in last—27.3. Threatens.
1-PRINCE PINANG…post curtailed chances in last. Prior showed solid pace final 3/8s and good close. Dips.
4-CAN HE GO…sat in garden spot in last but track seemed to be off a bit and tiring. Look for improvement.
2-SOUTHWIND WHISKI…actually not a bad effort in last but just too much traffic to overcome. Likes air!
