Race 5
#5 Its a
Wrap
Disappointed
last time out but lands in a softer spot here today with a great chance to
rebound. Two races ago at Belmont, this horse ran an effort good enough to win
today’s race, closing for second to get beat a neck. Takes the big maiden
dropdown from maiden special weights in versus maiden claimers today, and is
ready to graduate.
Race 10
#10 Unicorn Sally
Plus play exacta box w/#4 Courted
#10 Unicorn
Sally drops back down in versus maiden claimers after some recent losses versus
tougher, and was very competitive in the past when in against claimers with two
second-place finishes this winter at Gulfstream most recently. Speed figures
stack up well against this field and Javier Castellano is back aboard for the
mount.
Play in
exacta box with #4 Courted, who is the speed of the field and may be able to
get loose up front, which makes her extremely dangerous. Got cooked on the pace
in a gap speed duel last time out, but ran a good effort the time before to get
the lead and hold on for third. Looms a speed threat to go all the way, or at least
hold on for a spot in the exacta.
