SPOT PLAYS
Race 5
#5 Chloe Rose
Lost to tougher
last time at Monmouth by an inflated margin of defeat behind a runaway winner
that day, but before that was in the money in five straight dirt races with
competitive efforts and a win in a variety of spots for a variety of trainers. Paused
behind rivals when rallying and came up a half-length short two races ago in
most recent NY circuit outing, and looks good with a repeat of that kind of
effort.
Race 9
#16 Brew Pub
plus exacta box with #15
Distractandattack
#16 Brew Pub cut back to
6F last time out and looked good doing it, nearly catching a 9-5 favorite that
had shaken clear to a long lead in the lane, getting to within a nose at at the
finish while four lengths clear of the third horse.
Play in exacta box with #15 Distractandattack, who ran a
good off-the-turf effort three races ago in the mud at this level at Saratoga
in a second-place effort that points him out as one of the horses to beat in this
race. The other off-the-turf effort four starts ago wasn’t as bad as it looked
because he stumbled badly to his face at the break to lose all chance at the
start.
