#12 Udridge A number of things seem to work in her favor for this lightly raced 5 year old who has won at a higher level recently, drew well on the outside, seems to be able to win in front or off the pace,has a nice bullet last workout, gets Migliore on Turf who seems to win on everything he touches the last week or so. Nice Thorograph pattern competitive with Red Opal......must use!!!!
#6 Red Opal Will get plenty of action for good reason. Best closer,TGH numbers there, Sadler,Gomez,workouts all here. For sure.....
#2 Mashina Intriquing play.......Obviously will try and steal this one by converting this 5 for 17 lifetime turf route specialist on Nakatani. The PP's seem to imply the horse is money for the first 6F's of every Turf route.....can he steal this. Sire: Vettori has very small but excellent improvement TGI for 5 year olds.....I am using her...
#5 Kendricks Patsy Steve Miyadi sends in scary closing monster with late numbers almost the same as Red Opal. Another trainer who's white hot using an under the radar turf route specialist from Northern California in a turf sprint. Kaenel has never ridden this horse or a single race at SA. I wonder whats up here????? Trainer has lots of new friends winning at 32% I think I'll use rather than weep!!!
Pick 6 play 2,5,6,12
12,2,6,5 Box(Tri)
12/6,2,5/6,2,5/all (super)
Two more races this afternoon.....the last two tonight!!!
I would love to hear from any of you should you see major flaws in thought process.
Ticket so far 7,9,12/2,5,6,12.........Race 5 MC 32K for 3 year olds

I've had
Red Opal on my watch list for a long time and am happy to see her returning. Looks like enough speed to close into, and I think she's the obvious pick.
Mashina cuts back from routes to a sprint. First time down the hill doesn't worry me with Cory aboard, and love the fact that he's 2 for 2 when riding this mare. Will be a factor as long as he doesn't try to dual with Udriga for the lead. Speaking of the 12, my only worry is the 6 week gap in works between Nov. 22nd and Jan 5th. Not sure if the horse is fit enough to take them wire to wire, which is what she'll have to do to win. Both
Moogie and
Evening Escort have some things to like, but I can't go more than 3 deep here, and may just use Red Opal and Mashina, leaving my pick 6 fate in the hands of Nakatani and Gomez.
