SAT - Gulfstream (R7-R11) & Santa Anita (R6-R9)
Gulfstream Park POST SCRATCHES - FAST / FIRM
R7 - G3 Dania Beach (Turf 7,5F)
#2 Stormy Wayllen (8-1) - Draws beautifully for his stalking style and will be ready to pounce if #6 Smokem Kitten blinks.
#6 Smokem Kitten (3-1) - Look for him to take control early and try to pour it on when others challenge late. Impressive debut.
#4 A Lot (6-1) - Will get a firm course and Johhny V should have him closer to the pace here. Backers get a much better price today. 2ND
#5 Wayward Kitten (7-2) - His tactical speed will suit him well in a race that lacks a lot of early zip. 4TH
R8 - Specacular Bid 100k
#9 Barbabos (6-1) - Maybe he just didn't like the lawn, because he displayed an electric turn of foot at KEE (Sloppy Sealed). Sharp bullet of 34 last Sunday indicates he's ready. WON $14.60
#10 Ready for Rye (5-2) - No shame in being 2nd to Carpe Diem in debut despite a troubled trip and then made short work of next time winners in his 2nd start (96BSF). Mawthooq was 2nd to him and is the ML favorite in Race 10 - Mucho Macho Man. Lots to like. 2ND
#5 Tizcano (12-1) - Miller usually ships with a purpose and expect this one to be sent to the lead by Paco.
#2 Toasting Master (7-2) - Quickest out of the gate and could be difficult to reel in if unchallenged.
R9 - Ginger Brew 100k (Turf 7.5F)
#3 Jersey Jules (15-1) - Two solid local works and barn is successful when adding the hood. Bred well for the turf and should be forwardly placed throughout.
#9 Devine Aida (9-2) - Freshened up after showing some guts in victory across town at same distance. Adds lasix today. WON $9.40
#8 Right On Kitten (7-2) - Faces better after back to back wins to start career at second tier tracks. Attracts Castellano.
#5 Sunday Sonnet (4-1) - Gets some class relief and returns to the lawn. Fits with these. 3RD
R10 - Mucho Macho Man 100k
#9 Mawthooq (2-1) - Could not have been more impressive making mince meat of competition at AQU. Both his races have been on a sloppy sealed track and he will not get today. Draws well. 3RD
#3 Bluegrass Singer (5-1) - If he goes here, expect him to attack the front and try to hold them off late. WON $6.40
#8 Brother Bobo (9-2) - Expecting him to lay back early and make a late rally for a board finish.
#4 A. Rod Again (6-1) - Showed an ability to rate and draw off in maiden win at Churchill Downs.
R11 - Clm 35k N2L
#6 Lunar Tales (5-1) - 2 for 2 in Turf routes and either one wins this. Don't sell short.
#3 Niche (12-1) - Adds lasix after practically stopping in latest. Should take advantage of early speed and this is not the deepest field.
#1 Dobra Historia (7-2) - Takes a big drop and horseplayers must determine what to do. Tricky read.
#2 Classy Kid (10-1) - Has been competitive at this level North of the border and his turf races fit.
PK5 - 2 4 5 6 8 9 10 / 9 10 / 3 8 9 / 9 / 3 6 = $42 for $.50
PK4 - 5 9 10 / 3 5 8 9 / 3 9 / 1 2 3 6 = $48 for $.50
Santa Anita POST SCRATCHES - FAST / FIRM
R6 - Starter Alw 40k (Turf 6.5F)
#3 Q'Viva (4-1) - Just missed at this level going down the hill in October. Expecting a winning late rally. 2ND
#5 Denotation (12-1) - Should take advantage of early speed with a clean break.
#8 Susan B Good (6-1) - Look for her to be in good position as they turn for home.
#2 Hugh Knew (6-1) - Versatile runner will be best served being forwardly placed. WON $16.80
R7 - G2 Santa Ynez
#8 Conquest Harlanate (6-1) - Speed aplenty lined up and look for Smitty to be rolling late.
#3 Light the City (3-1) - Could prove to be too good for them on the front end.
#6 Rattataptap (5-1) - Professional debut win and could get an ideal stalking trip.
#1 Seduire (4-1) - Will be a serious factor with an alert break from the rail. WON $10.60
R8 - San Gabriel (Turf 9F)
#9 Tom's Tribute (5-2) - Excusing his last against two top turfers and expecting a return to the winner's circle. 4TH
#8 Skyring (12-1) - Lands in sharp turf barn that has had success removing the hood. Don't discount chances.
#3 Dynamic Sky (7-2) - Will need top 2 to come up short as he'll be coming off the pace.
R9 - Md 20k
#3 Bernier (5-1) - Barn knows how to get them ready at 1st asking and it won't take much to beat this bunch. 2ND
#5 Lyla Della (9-5) - Red flags go up on the drop, but obvious contender if slightly ready.
#6 Profit Motive (6-1) - Another firster with a chance especially after that sharp latest work.
#12 Southern Owah (9-2) - Has had chances but must be considered underneath.
PK4 - 2 3 5 8 / 1 3 6 8 / 8 9 / 3 5 6 = $48 for $.50
Good Racing Luck
