Handicapper Tips & Picks

Don't think you have to look too deep here. 2-GHAALEB'S DREAMS drops in class, looks to be the lone speed and should improve in her second off a long, long layoff. Expect her to coast and wire these. 4-CAIRO SUMMER ran a decent race while sprinting last out. With the stretch out and 10 lbs bug in the saddle, maybe she improves off that performance. 3-ZENCHUA SKY looks to pick up the pieces late. She faced tougher here two back and improved on the drop at Fairmount last out.

3-MADELYN BELLE debuts for a barn that typically has them ready early. She gets Lasix and has worked very well at Keeneland coming into this start. 4-LOVEYOULIKECRAZY held her own against Illinois-bred stakes company to close out 2022. She makes her first start of the year and has also worked well toward the return. 1-R KATIEBUG also debuts with Lasix. The inside can be tough for a first timer but with snappy gate drills you have to think she will show some speed.

Maybe the rider change improves things for 6-SONNYISNOTSOFUNNY as he has run well and picks up Centeno today. He should get pace to chase and come running late. 3-WEST WARPATH has tactical speed and figures to rate close. He looks to be a great claim for $7,500 as his two allowance tries have been solid. 2-DON'T BOX ME IN has speed as he makes his return off the long layoff. He has also worked well toward the return and may try to clear in here.

8-KINGSBURY ATTACK is proven on turf and comes in off a good race at this level in his last. Tavares fits him well and the distance suits also. 3-MODAZZLE was claimed out of his last and returns in the same spot today. He may rate closer early as there isn't a ton of pace in this race. 10-STRIKE PRICE ran a big race at a big price in his last. He figures to settle mid-pack early but should come charging in the lane.

Solid field as Coty Rosin has two in here. I like the Oaklawn efforts from 7-OFF RAMP as she has run on well in each of her last four starts. She looks to get enough pace to close into today as well. 1-RONAN ran a bit race in the Third Chance last out. She also is likely to sit back early and come charging in the lane. 4-PLUS CHIC is one with speed but she is also game when challenged. She makes her first start of the meet and has worked very well toward her return.

Curios to see how the wagering is in this full field. 3-LAWMAKER has run some good races on the turf and comes out of a solid performance in Indiana last out. Maybe his sits a bit closer early in here. 12-MO TIME AT ALL is a 6yo that is early in his career but ran a decent race in his last. He draws outside against and will have to work out a trip. 4-AQUACAT chased in his last before coming up empty in the lane. He should rate close the entire way in here and let's see if he can finish.

Hoping there is enough pace early to set things up for 5-PROCHARGER to rally in the lane. He ran well in his first start of the meet and has every right to improve. 8-JACKPOT BOY also improves last out as he shortens back up today. Have to figure he settles early but he may come running at them in the lane. 3-UNCAPTURED DREAM has some speed as he could be sitting on a big race. He takes the class drop in here which may be enough to get him over the top.
