Race 3
#1 Shape Shifter
Plus
play exacta box w/#5 Karen’s Gem
#1 Shape Shifter almost always runs a good race with 6
exacta finishes in 8 career races so far with 3 wins. Come into this race off a
victory last time out in an effort that looks even better now that the
second-place horse from that race has already come back to win. Shortens up
today, but is already 2-for-2 in her career at this 7F distance.
Play in exacta box with #5 Karen’s Gem, who gets back to 7F
today after losing at 6F last time. Benefits from more distance here, and toss
out the 7F loss two races ago when a front-running change of tactics didn’t
work out. Best late-running efforts put her right at or near the top of this
bunch today.
Race 8
#8 Taptaptap
Dropped in against maiden
claimers last time out and hit the board, and now meets an even more
questionable field. Two dirt sprints so far were by far his best efforts, and
his last race speed figure was easily the best of this bunch.
