Some thoughts on R5:
1: works ok, trainer good on grass but poor FTS record, excluding
2: works average but sold for $85k as a 2YO in training, all speed, turf breeding mediocre but likely has speed and trainer going well; backup ticket
3: below average works, trainer poor with FTS, pass
4: 4/5 last year on this course, probably needed the race or didn't care for the cushiontrack, talamo on, using
5: working extremely well for seasonal debut, long layoff a big ?, best effort a route, o'neill going very poorly this meet, pass
6: has excellent :45 speed, battled magnficience then bombed on the cushiontrack, should find herself in a perfect spot turning for home, must use
7: working fantastic, trainer terrible with FTS but a stunning pedigree for this trip, also a must use
8: another who has shown quite a bit of ability thus far, probably should have made up more ground in the lane last out but note distance back to 3rd (8 1/4)
9: bombed on the cushion, two decent races at this trip but how many chances do you get? Pass
11: 500k syndicate purchase has shown little other than 1/4 mile speed, pace early? Pass
12: horrific post, good breeding for this trip, blinks go on, tough call, backup ticket if possible


I really like the 7's breeding for this event and works. If the trainer had ANY ability with firsters I'd make a balls single with her.
