Handicapper Tips & Picks

Have to think this is another card where early races tend to lead more toward speed dominating. None in here are committed to the front and we have the unknowns of likely favorite firster Lightning Cashes but have to think Man On Attack has no choice but to send from the rail. He dropped in for the tag in his last and added Lasix and blinkers for that start. He was pushed along early but was beaten to the top by a runner named Snowmobile who also had speed. Snowmobile came out of that race to step up in class and wire a field in a MSW event. Man On Attack could be the one who is in the position to clear and wire this group.

A decent amount of pace in here is likely to lead to a runner closing ground late. Move On Over was far too far back early last out which was uncharacteristic for him but he still was able to run on late, missing by less than a length at the wire. In that field he also faced a larger group of horses. With a smaller field today and what looks to be an honest pace early, expect to see him rate a bit closer and run on by in the lane.

Really liked Richiesgotswagger last out and he didn't disappoint. No reason to think he won't be able to repeat that performance in here. Prince of Mayhem has speed but looks to be pressed by some others who should be challenging for the front end. Richiesgotswagger had to circle the field in that last start before running on to win. He should  be able to save more ground in here before making his closing move in the lane.

This is another spot where there appears to be a good amount of early pace, setting things up for a closer. Khozys Crown ran on late last out in a field of open $5k claimers. She runs for the conditioned $7,500 today which is an easier bunch than her just faced and also goes a 16th of a mile further. All of her victories have come at three quarters as she could sneak away at a price.

Not much along the lines of early pace in this race which would appear to set things up for Wildwood's Warrior. After a poor debut while sprinting against better in August, he was given a little bit of time away from the races before returning on the class drop last out. He added blinkers in his last and showed more speed as well. He responded well when asked in the lane and finished with some run. He should be sent from the rail in here and likely won't have to work too hard to clear either.

A few with speed in here as I'm hopeful trainer Max Quinonez runs both that he has entered in this race. You have to dig deep but that last time you will find a win from Flashy Richie was back in May and Felix was in the saddle for that start. He has run on late in his last few while facing open company as the state-bred return should also be beneficial. Let's see if we can catch him at a price.

Curious to see how things unfold early in here as the main speed of Cookin Roses gets stuck on the far outside and there's others in here that should keep things honest upfront. Princess Consuela had poor starts in two of her last three and was hung very wide in the race in between those two starts. With clear sailing she should be able to rally through the lane to contend at a price.
