Race 5
#5 Dr Harlan
In fine form in three races
since returning from a long layoff with two wins and a second last time out at
today’s class level. Cuts back in distance from a mile to this better distance
of 6 1/2F, which should put him back into the winner’s circle against this
bunch today.
Race 9
#5 Tiz Mischief
Plus
play exacta box w/#8 Shareholder Value
#5 Tiz Mischief exits a win last time when dropped in
against allowance horses and stands tall once again entered at this optional
claiming level today. All of the other recent experience was in Graded stakes
races, including a few in the money finishes such as a second in the Matt Winn
at Churchill two races ago. One time third-place finisher at this track in the
Holy Bull, he seems too tough for this kind of competition.
Play in exacta box with #8 Shareholder Value, who is the
horse in this field with a reasonable chance to be able to knock off the
favorite, or at least round out the exactas. In the money four times in a row
including a two-turn win at Keeneland two races ago. Exits a key race
third-place finish last time at Churchill, and consistent speed figures stack
up against the rest of this field.
