play exacta box w/#5 Seven Is Heaven
#6 Daddy
Knows made a big career debut 11th-to-2nd move in a mile off-the-turf race for
trainer Linda Rice, and then was not as good last time in a longer race two
turns on the grass. Gets back onto the dirt here again at one mile and looks
ready to graduate with a main track effort anything close to his career debut.
Play in exacta
box with #5 Seven Is Heaven, who also goes out for trainer Linda Rice in an
uncoupled entry with the top choice. Improved with added blinkers last time out
(a Linda Rice hallmark move), but needed a race that day off of a four-month
layoff. Now Irad Ortiz stays for the second off the layoff, and this horse
stretches out in another of Linda Rice’s hallmark moves (30% wins going sprint
to route).
Race 7
#1 Expert
Maintains good form with six straight exacta finishes
including a four-race winning streak that spanned from Feb. 21 to April 27.
Good effort in defeat last time out when second, and was five lengths clear of
the third-place horse. Jose Ortiz picks up the mount from Rajiv Maragh. Should
get an ideal trip sitting comfortably stalking a hot pace.
