HORSES TO WATCH

By: AMERICAN TURF CLUB

SUFFOLK

DIXIE REBEL: Two year old has high early speed and looked home last out

when he entered the stretch with a three and a half length lead only to tire

 to third. Will be tough customer on the lead versus similar.

ITSAWONDERFULIFE: Was racing in fifth for most of the race last out but

then put in a strong run to overtake the leaders and score by a length. Has

 proven that he can handle all surfaces so stay close.

JILL’S JUMPSHOT: The slow break may have cost him the win last out but

he did run on well to finish third as the third choice with $4k claimers. A clean

 break makes him tough.

PULL OVER PLEASE: Made a middle move to the leaders but tired as they

entered the stretch to finish fifth, give this one another shot over a dry surface.

STORM QUEST: Five year old gelding stalked the quick pace most recently

 and still had enough left to run down the leader for the head win, sharp now.

TOO PROUD: Took to the slop when scoring by three lengths most recently over

 NW2L claimers but must be respected at the next level, especially if the price is right.

 

4STARSPECIAL: MATT’S MEMO: Has had some physical issues but hails from

 top barn and most recent effort was a good one despite losing the lead late.

Should get there with NW1X allowance foes right back.

LONGSHOT: SERGEANT LEFTY: Hard to endorse a horse that is coming off

 a last place finish but did battle hard for the lead through solid fractions last out

 and he was moving up in class, take this one on the drop class next out.

 

 

TURFWAY

ALEXIS’ STAR: Was up close to the pace from the far outside post 11, made

 the lead past the ¾ mark before packing it in and finishing fourth; a better post

gets her there with NW2L claimers.

APPLE KRISP: Tried to close from well back in a five and a half furlong, NW3L,

claiming race last out and just missed the place spot by a head. Slightly more

 distance gets him there.

BLACK HILLS BANDIT: Was never far back behind quick splits, made a good

move to the leaders but had to settle for third late. His diploma awaits.

BOSTON STORM: Set some very good splits last out at 57-1 but tired as they

entered the stretch and finished eighth. Don’t dimiss her speed especially at a big price.

BRING HIM GOLD: Showed good speed from the start, set some honest splits,

was overtaken but didn’t pack it in until late finishing fourth, is a threat to go all

the way next out.

BRITELITEINTHENITE: Trailed the field of 10 after a half mile but settled in

 and came with a strong run to finish third, more pace up front will get him there.

NEVER SKIP: Closed strongly with a wide run to finish second at 75-1 most

recently and will still offer value at the windows next time out.

NO CASH: Made have a made her move too fast last out when settling for

second after making a strong move to the lead prior to entering the stretch, proper

 rating gets her there with NW3L claimers.

ROSE’S JEWEL: Broke last in the field of 12, raced in 11th through most of the

 race but did make a wide move to finish an even fifth at 114-1, the price will be right

 next out for two year old on the improve.

 

4PSPECIAL: SHINY DANCER: Broke running from the start, took pressure from

the favorite, put that one away but couldn’t hold on late and had to settle for the place

 spot, follow.

LONGSHOT: COUNT ON BILL: Easily outran his 66-1 odds most recently as he lead

 into the lane before fading late to finish fourth despite racing wide; like his chances

 with NW1X allowance foes.
