SAT - Gulfstream Park (PK4); Oaklawn (PK4)

[Bogey]

Gulfstream Park POST SCRATCHES - FAST / FIRM


R8 - MSW 47k

#2 Candelazo (20-1) - Barn excels with blinkers on off a limited number. Wake up call candidate.
#5 A Tough of Poety (3-1) - Zito heating up and this grey just missed in last.
#6 Curlin's Gem (12-1) - Really like the string of works. Don't discount,
#4 Whats Up Big Guy (5-1) - Lighting it up in the morning for a high % debut barn. 3RD

R9 - OC 62k/N2X (Turf 8.5F)

#1 Hamp (20-1) - Better draw, easier group, and juicy price. Sign me up. In addition, Jock/Trainer combo 38%. 3RD
#9 Racing Aptitude (5-1) - Preferred distance and should be forwardly placed throughout.
#3 Mills (6-1) - A few legit excuses in most recent and deserves another shot. 2ND
#4 Pinball (5-2) - Lightly raced 5yr for Mott might be figuring things out. WON $6.40

R10 - Honey Fox (Turf 8F)

#6 Centre Court (5-1) - Burned some serious money last summer, including mine. Have to think she's doing great for this outfit to bring her back to the races. That bullet last week doesn't hurt the confidence. WON $8.40
#7 Tapicat (3-1) - She always brings it and loves this course.
#8 Kitten's Point (6-1) - Expecting her to pass some and complete the Trifecta. 2ND
#1 Effie Trinket (5-1) - Tricky read on NY bred who's making her 1st start since November 2013. Has beaten open company in the past. Your call. 3RD

R11 - MSW 47k (Turf 7.5F)

#1 Scatcapade (5-1) - A bit longer and 2nd time out makes a big difference with top barn. 4TH
#4 Forsenic (5-2) - Logical contender. The only thing not to like is the price. 3RD
#7 Innate Grace (20-1) - Improved when switched to the lawn and another forward step puts her right there.
#10 Miz Lee (6-1) - Draws wide again and this time Rocco when need to maneuver through traffic. 2ND

PK4 - ALL (10) / 1 3 4 9 / 6 / 1 4 = $40 for $.50


Oaklawn - It will be interesting to evaluate all three graded stakes as they will be all contested at one mile and a sixteenth. POST SCRATCHES - WET FAST


R8 - Azeri

#7 On Fire Baby (7-2) - G1 winner draws well and she'll be tough to run down. She has won off the bench in the past. 4TH
#1 Close Hatches (7-5) - Obviously travels well and shown some class. Burning up the track at Payson Park. Watch out. WON $3.20
#4 Don't Tell Sophia (5-2) - She continues rolling and just missed last year in the event. 3RD
#5 Sister Ginger (12-1) - Has been chasing #4 this meet and could offer some value underneath.

R9 - G3 Razorback Handicap

#7 Majestic City (8-1) - There's some speed lined up and Rosario knows when to push the button. 2ND
#4 Golden Lad (9-2) - Pletcher horse on a roll and he has enough confidence to ship to Arkansas. WON $12.00
#2 Right to Vote (10-1) - Local horse has done nothing wrong lately and you'll get a nice price. 4TH
#6 Governor Charlie (3-1) - Baffert usually sends them to Hot Springs ready.

R10 - G2 Rebel

#9 Kobe's Back (7-2) - Comeback race at 7 furlongs really sets him up for a peak performance today. Expecting all systems go.
#3 Tapiture (9-5) - Romped in G3 Southwest with an ideal trip. This is a saltier group. 2ND
#4 Strong Mandate (2-1) - Plenty of excuses in G3 Southwest when 2nd to Tapiture. Tough read. 4TH
#5 Hoppertunity (10-1) - Smith will probably have him more involved early and see what happens. Interesting at a price. WON $12.40

R11 - MSW 60k

#11 Not My Tap (6-1) - Ran in spurts in latest and two turns should be well within her scope.
#9 Ghost Locket (3-1) - Solid in both career starts and capable of waking up with blinkers on and stretch out. 2ND
#10 Haveyougoneaway (5-1) - Nice run on debut after trouble leaving the gate. Deserves a serious look. WON $10.80
#8 Ginger Stone (8-1) - Will probably take back and uncork a late rally for a minor slice. 4TH

PK4 - 1 7 / 2 4 6 7 / 3 4 5 9 / 9 10 11 = $48 for $.50 PAID $240.05 FOR $.50
