CD 4


7) Could not locate the winner and the most likely victors appear short odds, so settled on the outside five and hope to clear the race. Value, Devil, Ransom, ALPHABET and Juliska.

8) Maiden sprint brings WISH ON our for her debut. Adele uncharacteristically went down on the hip for this chestnut daughter of solid first out sire Grand Slam, spending $340K before the gavel dropped. Family lacks the black type you would normally find for that kind a cash but some postives nonetheless. Top shelf conditioner at a price, sterling works, dam won debut and has tossed ten who have won, one less than her dam! C. J. lands here after working several others and not much to outrun, looks very live. Single.

9) Go Bucky Go has always wanted to be a racehorse winning two of his first three in impressive fashion. Perhaps it was the sealed surface, or maybe the class hike or maybe the additional bend that caused this son of Elusive Quality to come unglued, but after some time off he has been knocking on the door to pass this class. Last in Lexington saw him headstrong with the bug and the switch to the very patient Leparoux seems the ticket. With solid work last Sunday missing from some tabs (trainer almost always works them through the turn) he may add some value to the sequence. Adding 'Streak who is no stranger to drawing the fence (fifth time in six starts) but has been off sixty days and although he worked very well, head and head with Derby hopeful stablemate Sam P., he will need a good trip. Two deep.

10) Contrary to popular belief the biggest drop in racing is not from maiden allowances to maiden claimers, it is from allowance to conditioned claimers and this heat has a few that fit that fall. Both Pimm's O'Clock and Preside are 4yo's in good hands and taste the tag for the first time. Adding bomber King Sling who scratched out of a much easier spot for this and improved a pole after the claim for Ms. McGee. Jock stays, useful work and 280K yearling might be this good. Good cappin.
