Handicapper Tips & Picks

With a few in here with speed, 3-WHERE'S LUCKY may get the trip at a price. He ran well last out and closed nicely late. He could get the right pace early to chase in here. 2-TEQUILA REVOLUTION has speed but doesn't need the lead to win. There wasn't much to push him in those last couple as those leads may have been inherited more than anything else. 6-STORM BORN also should be forwardly placed as he drops in his second start of the meet. He fits well here and has run well over this track.

It was a big effort from 2-PINEDALE last out and he should be able to repeat that performance. He figures to be close with nobody in here committed to the front as his best races have come over this track. 6-FIRST MASAMUNE has run well in his last couple. His race two back was big and if he can get back to that race he will be very tough. 3-BEEALEA just missed when claimed two back. He was a bit flat in his last but deserves another shot today.

The pace figures to be honest early in here. 3-GHAALEB'S MAGIC just missed last out and she rated and closed well late. She likes this track and should get a similar trip once again. 4-KIANA'S LOVE can show speed but doesn't need the lead to win. She also has raced well here as she returns to her best distance. 7-ALMAFUERTE also was a good winner last out. She will benefit from a solid pace upfront as she looks to repeat the performance from her last start.

A couple state-bred runners look to factor in here. 3-RAINY MOUNTAIN closed nicely at this level in her last couple and may get a little more pace to chase today. 6-BEG BORROW N STEAL got through the state-bred allowance impressively last out. Her running style will also allow her to settle and she could challenge late. 5-WILMA MANKILLER got away at a nice price for top connections in her last. She has tactical speed and shouldn't be too far off the early pace.

Maybe we catch a price with 1-SILVER QUARTERS as he will get pace to chase and rallied well in the lane last out. Tavares looks to be a good fit for him in here. 5-BANDIT SWANSON has run well at this level in his last couple. He skipped this race last time out and maybe the rest will benefit him today. 7-READTHECLIFFNOTES loves it at Hawthorne. He has tactical speed and also seems to be right there nearing the wire.

5-MY LIPS ARE SEALED is proven on the turf as she comes in off of some tough races in Florida this winter. She shouldn't be too far back at any point. 9-KINGSBURY DREAM will need pace to chase, but although winless in 16 turf tries, she has hit the board in nine of those races. 7-DIALED INNA has some tactical speed as she returns to the turf today. Let's see if she tries to contend early.
