SAT - CD PK4 & Hanshin Cup @ AP

[Bogey]

Churchill Downs - PK4

R8 - Alw 52.5N2X Turf

#10 Ballet Pacifica - Makes 1st start for Biancone. She's been on the sidelines since G3 Pucker Up at AP last Sept. She's been training well and will be on lasix for the 1st time. Biancone hits at 36% with runners coming off the bench over 6 months.

#2 Sans Reward (Ire) - Adds the blinks. Her U.S. debut was better than it looked. She closed well into some soft fractions. If the sod comes up a little soft, it will only help her chances.

#4 Nunnery - Mott turfer showed speed and tired in last versus similar. Will benefit from the cutback.

#9 What Will Be - One of two with a win on the CD turf. She has 2 wins at the distance and expect her to be closing late.

R9 - OC 80K/N3X

#2 Brother Bobby - Faced some toughies in the G3 Alysheba on Derby Day. Packing bullets in every morning workout.

#7 Piety - 3 for 4 at the FG meet. Comes in with 3 victories in a row for Frankel, but must step up to have his picture taken.

#1 Crossword - Highly regarded colt out of the Howard barn. He's pretty much stuck in the high 80's to low 90's BSF wise. Capable with top performance.

R10 - G3 Louisville

#6 Cloudy's Knight - Deep closer has been extremely solid and should put another decent run versus this company.

#5 Hotstufanthensome - Todays distance seems better suited for his running style. Should have a nice trip under Bejarano.

#9 Ramazutti - Pletcher runner should be forwardly placed and has the back class to dug in late.

#2 Always First (GB) - Former G2 winner in 2005 will make 2nd start of the year after missing by a neck in the G3 Elkhorn at KEE.

R11 - Clm 15K/N2L

#4 Bernhardt - This is a classic Amoss move with the drop in competition. Amoss/Bejarano team up at a 40% clip. Coming in from the Mountain.

The Play - $1 PK4 - 2 4 9 10 with 1 2 7 with 2 5 6 9 with 4 = $48

R10 - $1 Tri Box - 2 5 6 9 = $24

Arlington Park

R9 - G3 Hanshin Cup

#5 Connections - 3 for 3 on the synthetic surface and has two bullet works at AP. Won as much the best at KEE versus Alw foes. Needs to step it up, but the price will be right in this wide open event. SCR

#1 Throng - Just missed by a nose in a smaller stakes earlier at the AP meet. Pletcher hitting at a 40% clip at AP this meet.

#6 Gouldings Green - Defending champ via DQ is making his '07 debut. Absolutely loves the distance with 4 wins out of 5 starts.

The Play - $20 WP 5 & $5 Ex Box 5 with 1 6 = $20 - SCR

Good Racing Luck
