Arlington Park ;
Race 1: CRAFTY COP tired badly in last, a nine-furlong event, but he made a big move at about a mile before tiring, Turns back to a mile. Drops in class. Should improve in his second trip over the track. G L MICKEY hasn't been overly effective yet but when top rider and top barn team up it¹s time to pay attention, especially when the trainer has been red hot with recent layoff runners. DARE TO COLOUR beat only on in his local debut but was in against a bit tougher. He drops and stretches out. Could be more effective today. PALAZZO ONE is capable of displaying a better burst of early speed than most in here. Could surprise with the stretch out.
Race 2: STARSHIP GARNET has been tiring a bit in recent route races but should have plenty left with the turn back in distance and the drop in price. Figures to race right off the early pace despite the turn back. PEERING OVER went off at a very generous 27-1 in last, despite a world of local success, and rewarded her backers handsomely. Stalker seems likely to get the perfect trip once again though this time her price won¹t be nearly as attractive. SHARON¹S RICHES is unbeaten in three races this year. Ships from an easier circuit but has to be taken seriously.
Race 3: NINE O¹ MINE drops a notch while stretching out in the second race of her career. Didn¹t beat a rival in her debut but expect a much stronger effort here. SEATTLE MISSY didn¹t seem to handle the turf in last but maybe her poor start was the reason she raced so poorly, Switches back to the main track. Deserves another chance. ONE BETTER THAN is a well-bred first timer racing for a trainer who excels with debut runners. Works have been sufficient. Deserves another look.
Race 4: ROARIN BRITTNEY has been favored in three of the four starts since breaking her maiden. Tired a bit in last but that was her local debut and many runners seem to need a trip over this track. Slight improvement could have her leading this from start to finish. The drop in class should help. WAVES OF BEAUTY is another dropping. Her recent races weren¹t too bad. Could be in the right spot. IMA CARTWHEEL drops a few levels but this is where she belongs. Might be the quickest from the gate. Can¹t count her out.
Race 5: BELLA COBRA just missed at this level in her local debut. That race, however, was at a mile and she¹s turning back in distance for this one. She¹s the one to beat but she might not be as effective at this shorter distance. Choice, but vulnerable. SAPPHIRE LADY finished 22 behind in her local debut but that race was at a longer distance. Plus, she was on or close to the lead for most of this distance. She¹s a threat to steal this on the front end. GETCOZYWITHKAYLEE finished four lengths behind top choice in last but that was her first race up from Florida. Plus, she¹s been most effective sprinting. Could show more now that she¹s had a trip over the track and at this shorter distance.
Race 6: ADORABLE AUDREY closed well to win her first start for this trainer. Pace seems likely to set up even better in this race. Late runner could pass them all again. SKIPAMISS will be tough to beat is she can find the good early zip that allowed her two win two in a row in New Orleans over the winter. Last two poor efforts could be excused since one was on the main track and the other at 12 furlongs. Might lead this throughout. ECHO JO made up 11 lengths around the turn in last before flattening out in the stretch. That was, however, her first race in five months. should be better prepared to go the distance in this one. A STAR ABOVE has been in good form and has always shown an affinity for this turf course. Plus, she was claimed from last by a conditioner who wins with about 35% of his first time claims. Figures prominently. SLAMDANCER could be one of the key players though probably as a spoiler or to help set the race up for another. Displayed great speed in the past. If she finds it here, her second race in 10 months, she¹ll ruin the chances of Skipamiss. If she does fire, assuring a fast pace, the closers will all come flying.
Race 7: NEBRASKA MOON should get a perfect trip. Winner of last meets many with speed. should be racing patiently in close proximity, waiting until they turn for home before making his move. STORM SIZZLE has speed and the rail. Didn¹t handle the slop or the company in last at Churchill. Could be far more effective here. WALL STREET AFLEET is a versatile runner whose lone win came on a sloppy track. With the weather we¹ve been having, things could work out in his favor. DON MANUEL beat top choice the last time they met. Turns back in distance. Speed and stamina should make him tough. JUST SEE JAMES was an impressive winner in his only race. Meets much better here but don¹t think that we saw his best. Can surprise.
Race 8: ON THE COURSE won three of his four races, winning on both turf and dirt. Good tactical speed has allowed him to score against various paces. Seems likely to win another. JUST GOSSIP is winless on this course but was in pretty good form in Louisiana and should find the pace to his liking in this race. SCOOTER ROACH met better in most of his turf races. Versatile runner drops in class. Seems likely to be a late factor in this race. LACER doesn¹t go for the lead but is seldomly too far off the early pace. This barn does well with fresh horses. This one can surprise.
Race 9: DEAD RINGER should be in the right spot. Owns a decent late move. Found a race filled with early speed. Could come flying in the stretch. DEVIL¹S DIARY didn¹t show a lot in last but it was still the best race of his career. Should improve in his second route attempt. CONVEY A LITTLE led for all but the last few jumps in his first race at this distance. But, that should have been the perfect conditioner. Could be ready to take it all the way. LOST RAINBOW deserves another chance. Last, his first race at the distance, was marred by trouble at the start. Might surprise with a clean trip.
