Race 9
#1 Seek and Destroy
Winning ways continued with the third straight victory last
time out coming in the return from a six-month layoff for top trainer Chad
Brown. Now a multiple stakes winner seems perfectly-suited to this turf mile,
and is versatile from a pace perspective because he can close from off the pace
like last time, or go wire-to-wire as in the prior two races. Should send again
today from the rail because she looms the best, and possibly solo speed horse
in this race.
Race 10
#12 Causeforcelebration
Plus
play exacta box w/#11 Laughing Manners
#12
Causeforcelebration just missed by a head in a similar spot last time out
from the tricky one post, now gets a
beneficial inside-to-outside post shift, owns the best last-race speed figure,
and is finally ready to graduate after knocking on the door for quite awhile.
Play in exacta
box with #11 Laughing Manners, who exits a close fifth-place finish in the same
race behind Causeforcelebration, and also gets a positive post shift off the
inside out to post 11. Picks up Joel Rosario and owns turf sprint form dating
back to last year that makes him a serious contender in this spot, at least in
the exacta boxes.
