Pompano Tuesday Pickin’ from John Berry
Tuesday, February 7, 2016
5-CAVIART GRIFFIN...in a trifle easier this time around. Sat chilly much of last mile but did show strong trot deep stretch.
1-TWIN B SPIKE MAN...on a bit of a roll lately with 2 straight wins. Steps up but can grind a long way off 2nd over trip.
6-PLAYBOOK...warrior likes winning--38 of ‘em lifetime. Could be on the engine from this spot dictating the terms. Threat.
3-McMARVEL...recent form is sharp. Got perfect trip in last but winner was a bit too tough to handle on front end. On tkt.
6-UNITALIANO BI...went up in the air early in last to lose all chance. Probably gonna be on the choo-choo leaving here.
7-PC’S WILDCARD...out-sprinted rail horse early to gain good spot then chased tough winner all the way around. Leaves.
2-PRINCE PINANG...takes double-dip in class here. Was out and trying turn 2 but tough to dent :27.3 panel. Better spot.
6-SPECKLED DOOR...showing improvement lately and tightening up after long vacation to get healthy. Is really quite fast.
9-THUMPEM...has outside post, yes, but possesses sharp early speed to overcome. Warrior can “crushem” on occasion.
7-CABRERA...giving much better performances last couple starts. Actually stuck nose in front mid-stretch. Out-brushed.
4-CULINARY DELIGHT...not much on paper these days but was in tough situation traffic-wise in last. Will be sitting chilly.
3-CELEBRITY LAMPERT...finally drew a little better after giving some subtle hints showing late trot in last couple starts.
6-WHOS IN THE MIST...makes 100th lifetime start. Loved the double-bubble move in last denting fast 3rd panel. Threat.
8-CARLOS MITTANNA...probably on the engine to join the fray early, as he usually does. Handy winner in last & good form.
2-FLASHY LADY...changed strategy in last and was used taking command past the opener. Out-kicked final sixteenth.
9-UPTO A DREAM...won from outside nine post this season. Look for early speed to join the fray from no-man’s land.
5-MASSIVE LIGHTNING...charged up first over on backside in last and wore down the leader in very sharp mile. Threat.
4-PRAIRIE FORTUNE...Florida bred LOVES winning and qualified very handily trotting final 3/4s in 1:25.4. Gnaws away!
8-JAMAICAN COWBOY...was out and going after half but unable to crack very fast backside panel. Will be rallying wide.
3-CARMENS BEST...got the perfect trip in last and just missed all the marbles in solid effort. In very sharp form right now.
6-SWAN HANDICAP...all races since arrival have been sharp. Looks to follow live cover entire last lap. Needs lively pace.
1-GOLD SAVAGE...been solid in top class. Has gate speed and the rail--a formidable combination. Right there with these.
8-DEL RIO SEELSTER...can really turn on the afterburners when in the mood. Last was formidable, especially backside.
2-SHAMDEROCK...was used hard early in last and held firm until mid-stretch. Looking for off-the-pace mile in here.
1-SURGE SEELSTER...tried backside m”oo”ve in last and did dent :28 quarter in the slop--slightly. Rail helps this time.
5-McGREAT...been trying hard but not been able to crack the winner’s circle. Still, should be competitive off recent starts.
