SAT - Arlington Park (R7-R11)

[Bogey]

Arlington Park POST SCRATCHES - POLY / FIRM


R7 - G3 Arlington Matron

#8 Naples Gold (10-1) - Expecting her to be the one stalking #3 La Tia and have 1st run on the closers.
#3 La Tia (5-2) - Loves this surface and should be much tighter in her 2nd start back. She's the controlling speed, which is obviously dangerous. WON $5.20
#2 Frivolous (9-2) - Hopes to get a similar trip as her most recent win at KEE (same distance) and Graham fits her well. 2ND
#7 Moment in Dixie (3-1) - Took a huge step forward in Synth debut and must be considered for all slots.

R8 - ILB Alw 38.5k N1X (Turf 8F)

#6 Goesse (12-1) - Lost all chance as the chalk in latest and no reason to think this gelding can't stretchout on the lawn. Sheldon Russell has done extremely well at the meet.
#10 Super Soldier (3-1) - Looks ready off strong string of works and will probably strike the front early and be a handful late. WON $6.60
#8 Brim (9-2) - Primarily a hanger, but must be considered underneath. Rosemary could help him lose the title as she knows this course well. 4TH

R9 - G3 Hanshin Cup

#11 Fordubai (15-1) - Kept nice company in New Orleans and this is his preferred surface and distance.
#4 Hogy (3-1) - Defending champ is coming into this race in perfect shape. He'll be close to the pace.
#3 Sir Applesolutely (20-1) - Has been burning up the track in the mornings and the price is too juicy to exclude.
#6 Pass the Dice (12-1) - Strong return at CD and this barn knows a thing or two about the winner's circle here. 3RD

R10 - G3 Arlington Classic (Turf 8.5F)

#2 Chief Barker (Ire) (8-1) - A clean break is a must if he plans on redeeming himself from the dull effort on Derby day. 4TH
#8 Afortable (5-1) - Leparoux fits his style and will be hitting best strides late. 3RD
#1 Solitary Ranger (3-1) - Should be forwardly placed and if able to set reasonable fractions expect a board finish.
#4 Long On Value (7-2) - Out ran his odds in latest and fits from a class point of view.

R11 - Md 12.5k - Tricky end to the sequence. Why do I feel one of these 1sters is going to break through.

#1 Tyne Bridge (5-1) - Barn has been scorching in the early part of the meet. 2ND
#3 Lafanciulladelwest (4-1) - The cut back should help the cause. WON $7.60
#8 Serious Gray (20-1) - Improved on this surface. 3RD

PK5 - 2 3 4 5 7 8 / 6 10 / 3 4 6 11 / 1 2 8 / 1 = $72 for $.50

PK4 - 6 8 10 / 3 4 6 11 13 / 1 2 8 / 1 3 = $45 for $.50

Good Racing Luck
