With out looking at current works,I see El Roblar, Gotaghostofachance, Greg's Gold as now horses and Siren Lure,Silent Name as never knowing when they are going to fire. Surf Cat we will have to look at his works and see what he looks like in the paddock before the race. My first mistake is to discount the leading riders mount Battle Won.

Gotaghostofachance barely won a terrible race last out, prior to that was no count versus these types. Siren Lure was beating on cream puffs last year when in form, has taken a decided step back since the BC. Publication had every shot to get second in the Ack Ack and actually let Siren Lure reclaim that spot at the wire. Greg's Gold had 3 tough races right off the bench recovering from a serious injury, imploded in Kentucky and the 7f doesn't seem as good a fit for him as 3/4s. Battle Won is game, but hasn't gotten the job done in easier spots.
I think its between Surf Cat and Silent Name. The former should romp if he's near top form, which is likely considering Headley's work with previous layoff types. He's also a proven router, which is always an advantage going 7f. Silent Name's last is a throwout with the bad break, and the return to a synthetic surface (one he has trained on for several months) makes him attractive at a square price. May have a tactical advantage over Surf Cat with plenty of early speed. Just have to hope no physical issue emerged from the Met Mile (grabbed quarter, etc.). Mandella has finally settled on El Roblar's best trip (late running sprinter), but his class is still in question, so I'll relegate him to minor awards with a couple of Grade 1-2 calibur horses in the lineup.

DRF.....
El Roblar out of Triple Bend El Roblar, winner of the Grade 3 Ack Ack Handicap here last month, was scheduled to be withdrawn from Saturday's Grade 1 Triple Bend Handicap because of body soreness, trainer Richard Mandella said. Mandella said no specific injuries have been detected but that El Roblar could undergo medical tests. "He's come up stiff and sore," Mandella said. "If we don't figure it out, we'll have to scan him." El Roblar, 5, has battled minor injuries through his career. Owned by Jess Jackson's Stonestreet Stable, El Roblar has won 5 of 12 starts and $299,946. http://www.drf.com/news/article/86494.html * * * Battle Won / Gotaghost / Surf Cat Last edited by my miss storm cat : 07-07-2007 at 05:35 PM.

Surf Cat with Siren Lure and Silent Name battling it out for second. I have a strange love affair with Bilo going on too.

Bruce Headley has been in the tank since Hollywood installed Cushion track. That being his choice not to work on the surface I will not play Surf Cat. Looks like I will take a small stab with Silent Name to win.
