Handicapper Tips & Picks

Looks like a chalky opener to the day. She's Xtremely Hot has been the most consistent in the field but is still looking for her first win of the year. She does come in off a nice work over the track. Green Bananas could be a sleeper in this spot as she picks up a speed rider and stretches in distance.

An interesting turf sprint as there are three speed horses drawn next to one another. The post draw and switch to Loveberry could make the difference for Ornery Angel. The Arnett barn has been fantastic this meet and the price may be right. A switch to Colon aboard April's Gem could be worth a look too. This one tries hard and may be overlooked from the outside draw.

Rolling the dice a bit in here as there is very little in regards to early pace in this race. Thinking there is a chance Christmas Present may be able to sneak off to the front and carve out the early fractions without much problem. If he can settle upfront he may never look back.

With two in here likely to show speed I think we can catch a price with Birdie Be Gone. A trip from just off the pace could put this one in a perfect spot.

A race where just about any of these could win. Lily's Woofy has been solid over the track, hitting the board in five of seven starts over the track. She has enough speed to get away from the outside post and rate close early. She could get the jump on the late closers.

Not a ton in regards to pace in this race. Journeyist ran a big race off the layoff last out and could easily repeat it. No excuses for Long Tall Woman. She's the other speed but does have a tendency to hang.

Lucy's Lookin Left was a good winner last out and draws well for this spot. There's a good chance she wires this field off the victory in her last. First Kitten did defeat Lucy's Lookin Left on October 1 but the post could be the determining factor in here.
