Handicapper Tips & Picks

Having run a couple of races should help 5-SHEZ TWISTED. She has worked well over this track and was thought enough of to debut at Churchill. She should be sitting on a good performance tonight. 3-KICKIN has worked well toward the debut. The Boyce barn is going well of late as we may see early speed in here. 6-BOOM BOOM BELL has also worked well leading into this race. She comes in with a solid pair of gate drills as she runs for a barn that has them ready early.

5-CHROME ATTACK has been at her best in turf sprints. She has three starts on the year and benefits from class relief in here. 2-RAMBERT has speed as she is a proven turf sprinter. If she can beat More Than A Diva to the top, she should be tough to catch. 8-COVENANT LADY will benefit from a contested pace. She ran well on the grass in her last and should be closing with a rush.

7-SILKY WARRIOR ran well in her last as she rated closer early and battled to the wire. There's no pace in this race as she should be close once again. 5-HEAVENLY HASH is the other that could show speed as she stretches out in here. She likes this track and should be a square price. 2-NO NANNETTE NO chased a slow pace in her last and was grinding in the lane. She has been better in her two Hawthorne starts on the year and gets Murrill in the saddle once again.

5-TWO COOKIE RULE ran a solid race in his last, getting up right at the wire. He should get some pace to chase once again and could repeat that performance. 2-CODE RUNNER ran a disappointing race as he was hung wide in his last. He runs for a new barn here but stays at the same level as he figures to be a factor once again. 6-MISTER CHARMING stalked and battled to the wire in his last. His best races have come here at Hawthorne as he should provide some value.

Let's see if 7-IDIOSYNCRASIES can show speed like he did in his last and hang around late. He doesn't need the lead to win but shouldn't be too far back at any point.1-QUALITY STORM takes the class drop as he looks to get a confidence boost. He has some tactical speed but figures to rate and rally in here. 6-CUCUY figures to be tough based on speed figures. The only questions is the distance. He's been going around two turns of late but takes the turn back in here.

A solid stakes field here as numerous runners are in with a shot. 7-BREEZING ALONG is the invader in this spot but she figures off a recent strong effort on the grass at Churchill. She has tactical speed and should be able to tuck in just off the early pace. 3-OEUVRE just surpassed $1 million in earnings with the victory here in her last. She is so versatile and has found the board in four of five starts at a mile. 9-KATIE M'LADY loves this course and has speed. She will have to work a bit to clear from the outside as she's as game as they come.

Let's see if the inside draw and a trip from the second flight benefits 1-TIME MUSE. He moved back to the turf for his last and ran a game race. With three likely to show speed ahead of him, expect him to try to get the jump on the late closers. 4-EVEN THE WIND rallied late in his last and just missed. He should be tough once again for his second start of the year as he figures to take a good amount of action. 8-NOT FALLING BACK ran a big race with a confidence boost last out. He made the top and just ran off in the lane. Let's see if he shows speed once again.
