Looking ahead to thursday
Race 1 could be tricky
GoGo on cat-snipe is an unknown speedball... could throw a wrench in things
One Union is one I am looking at ... the layoff is a bit of a concern especially if snipe and hewitts make it a three way speed duel.... but 3 straight 100-3 works are a little reassurance...
Carrilero is one that could be in the top 3 no matter what the pace scenario... puype is + roi on the layoff and valdivia knows the horse... and 2 wins out of 3 on the course
Race 4... hmmm may lay off this one ... but Purrfectly fitting has the rail... a class drop... but is coming off layoff and pulled up last year first off layoff... Cassidy is 0-fer and Flores <10% at meet... this is the best horse in the race but maybe next out...???
Race 7 is probably where I will go.... Blue Exit was respected during OakTree meet but failed to show up.. Monster Work 1/16... but Bejarano elsewhere...
Rocket Leggs-- GOGO and Pletcher but almost a year off and uninspiring works...
Star Nicholas a couple bullets recently 3 good races in a row... Eurton on FIRE and with MC Baze 27% and +1.23... but others have been racing against much better...
Bejarano ends up on ZAPPA ... held his own against G1 foes... 10 of 11 ITM at distance... couple of maintenance works after wiring performance at same level a month ago... my probable play for Thursday

Hewitts also looks dangerous in the 1st. Seems to have taken to the turf. If not for Zappa in the 7th, I'd probably go with Hewitt in the 1st.
