Emily's Analysis

Woodbine Race 1

Post Time 12:05 PM CST
Analysis by Emily Gullikson

#6 SPIRIT O'TIPPERARY makes their second start of the season with the stretch out in distance and back at the 7.5k N2 level where they have been competitive in the past. Placed according to their abilities they should be sitting on a peak effort with the changes here and with the GALLOP+ last month to set up for this route with pace to chase. 

Woodbine Race 3

Post Time 1:02 PM CST
Analysis by Emily Gullikson

While this could be the time and place if there ever were for #6 SO CALLED VACATION, the overall race record still makes them tougher to trust and has come up shorter at the level and shorter prices without excuse. Their most competitive race recorded a B OptixGRADE the same GRADE as #2 ARRAKASTA IZAN going back to the BLANKET finish on 12/8. 

#5 CALLING HOME a common rival from 5/25 makes their first start at this $10k MCL level and brings upside from the races last season and even could present an every other pattern. #8 BOURBONONAHOLIDAY brings overall upside starting with an EX on debut and now third off and second route making a WIDE MOVE on 5/30 and overall visuals to IMPROVE. They require a new top and with common rival #9 AUDAX MINOR from the 5/30 common race.
