Pompano Tuesday Pickin’ from John Berry
Tuesday, February 21, 2017
5-SAUCY BROWN...showed some nice backside pace in last--:28.3. Continued on solidly to the line.
1-BEST DREAM SEEKER...got picture perfect handling in last to win. Rail gives similar opportunity.
5-CARMENS BEST...pulled turn 2 & showed grinding foot forward through fast panels. 200th start.
6-TWIN B TK...raced well against “10’s” & now dips to spot where he won two starts back. Danger.
6-CASHAHALLIC...made early move for the lead and got it but 1/2 time (:55.1) took toll very late.
4-PRINCESS CROWN...had good journey in last, pulled final turn but was out-brushed in the lane.
5-REVRAC HARBOUR...sharp quarter move to the top & fought very hard final turn. Out-kicked late.
1-RAMZAN...when minds manners, can toss in devastating late kick. Steps up after doing so in last.
2-LUGAR...first start in year after being nursed back to health was very decent. Should be tighter.
6-DRIVING MISS CRAZY...likes to be in the thick of things from the get-go. Will be on the engine.
1-MY ROBERTO...lolly-gagged back in last before showing solid pace double-bubbled final 3/8s.
7-BLUE FIN...used early to take command then got superior rating, fighting hard all the way home.
4-SOUTHWIND STRYKER...keeps moving up the ladder with impressive results. A big threat in here.
2-STACHE...can rattle cages late. Forgiving last when he went up in the air while on the move.
4-SOOO HANDSOME...usually is pretty lazy for the first half or so before revving up big time late.
7-MODERN MERCURY...showed nice backside brush in last--:27-4--and was still gaining some late.
5-OH MY JOEPA...second tier post hurt in last. Dips down here and has great post to use gate speed.
1-JUST THAT...kind of an “even-steven” effort from the rail in last. Similar situation in offing here.
5-LASTDUKESTANDING...in new hands for this. Showed backside pace in last. Could be on engine.
1-INDEPENDENT SPIRIT...finally drew well & did show some grinding pace in last following cover.
6-SHOOTIN TYME...in rare form these days and after 4th straight. Does step up a notch on ladder.
7-CABO REAL...The “woman’s touch” played key role in getting new life mark in last. Good form!!
