Going to be tied up all day, but may make it over for the late P4 so here goes...
Race 7)
7 Cornetto 3-1– Missed closing last @ Calder… Griff / Boss / Leyva should roll on the front
3rd
10 Bad Medicine 5-2 – Should be off Cornetto, and grab the picture should he fade. Calder horses, along with the Suffolk shippers making a nice account of themselves thus far
2nd
2 Country In 8-1 – Everything says avoid; workouts going backwards since his arrival, etc. but you simply can not leave off anything Pecoraro is throwing out. Should be a steep price and a nice include. I think it was Kev that remarked, "He must have inherited Zaidie's stalls"

Race 8)
3 Double Deduction 7-2 – Mah boy Bernell, Butler, Turf – solid Tampa angle (ask Bigs)
; sprint, sprint, route – another strong angle here. Rhone conspicuously absent thus far, looks to have been sighting in on this one.
7 Jackies Causway 2-1 – Temped to toss knowing nothing about Barry Menefee, but this lightly raced 5yo has been training nicely at the Classic Mile, draws Rosie – has a shot, but should be nowhere 2-1.
WON
2 Kissinacop 15-1 – Moved up nicely and faded last – Increasing speed figures each out – Will run with the first flight and could pull a typical “Tampa Bomb” move at the wire at a big number
3rd
Race 9)
6 Oroque 2-1 – Probably the classiest of the bunch – big effort last out possible bounce candidate but can’t leave off
WON
9 Lucky Lassie 7-2 – Hoosier shipper graduates out of MSW to face not much here – will be on the front with Oroque
4th
1 Velvet Fox [b]
10-1 – Haw shippers dropping down are showing well thus far, Inez getting her bearings here – toss the route; a nice fit at a nice price sitting just off the speed
3 Tickle Bone 8-1 - Big move up over the real stuff last at Thistley, Faith Schorr breaks by 6 last out, but Mary Bennett opts from Ramgeet
5 Cantaura 12-1 - see Tickle Bone. Same story, Schorr gets this one. Not even gonna try to figure it out, just going to use both.
3rd
Race 10)
Maiden 8’s – Heartbreakers and Moneymakers
7 Copper Hearted 8-1 – sports a swift work over the skid last week; Toss the last troubled trip over the Laurel weeds; Gets one of the better bugs in Abel Lezcano; Griff gets her back looking for his first win of the meet, could get it here against not much
6 Lovely Lacey Lou 10-1 – Late blooming Proud and True filly fits the “hasn’t done anything wrong” angle popular here at the bottom. Like that she got a 6F work over the track
4th
2 Wishin U Were Here 7-2 - Mountaineer shipper just missed the last 2 with paired speed figs – should be lone speed from the inside and could make light work of this.
2nd
4 Fasola 5-2 – Catalano looks to right the ship with this inherited Mott Songandaprayer filly. Hasn’t been interested since August, but can’t ignore 35% first time with, and Homiester get the nod in the irons
