SPOT PLAYS
CHURCHILL
Race 2
#1 Marital
Eagle
Toss out the
turf loss last time and the two most recent races before that were both good in
dirt routes, including the maiden win at Fair Grounds followed by an even
better third-place effort two races ago with a sharp speed figure that would be
good enough to win this race.
Race 4
#6 Spelling Bee
Plus play exacta box w/#12 Rivers of Lite
#6 Spelling
Bee is a first starter from trainer Wesley Ward, who gets ‘em ready to roll
early and meets a sub-par field of claimers here today. Ward won with a similar
horse on opening weekend with this same rider, Gerardo Corrales, and a repeat
in this spot is well within their reach.
Play in
exacta box with #12 Rivers of Lite, who looms the best horse in the field out
of those who’ve already raced, having come in second twice in a row, first at
Oaklawn and then at Will Rogers. Should finish no worse than the exactas once
again.
