Friday, August 11 By Samantha Perry (check Twi3er @samanthagperry for updates)
Race 1: Don’t let it fool you that the 7 BOLD
ADVANCE is rising in MCL class because he
looked like a winner by many unDl he was
nabbed at the wire by a Pletcher MSW class
dropper. 5 DOLLAR BILL put in a solid effort
last Dme out and was only defeated by his
stablemate. 6 BELLY OF JELLY has a race 2
back that fits here but this horse never
takes any money in all of his starts.
SELECTIONS: 7-5-6-4
Race 2: ALer being claimed from one top
trainer to another the 5 LOOKING FOR
HOPE blasted at a level the same as she
faces here and looks like doubling up should
be no problem for her and the 7 OLGA was
chasing her heels. 4 GO LIL LADY is making
her second start of off a lengthy layoff and is
eligible to improve here.
SELECTIONS: 5-4-7-1
Race 3: 3 LUCKY DONNIE G seemed to want
no part of the dirt out last Dme and I think
he is more talented than we saw there so I
am willing to give him another shot on the
tapeta for the first Dme here today. A solid
4th place finish for the 4 VOY Y VENGO de-
spite his rider losing his whip at the top of
the stretch. It won’t be hard to find the 7
KRAZYKATKOUSIN as she hits the lead and
plays come and catch me with the rest of
the field.
SELECTIONS: 3-4-7-2
Race 4: Pay no a3enDon the 4 SMOKIN
COUD’s last two starts as he was in over his
head and today gets back to a level where
he has won before. 7 ETERNAL FLAME has
hit the board in half of his tapeta starts and
has a solid chance to do the same here to-
day. You can’t ignore the connecDons of the
5 GRAND VALLEY as they have been firing
hot as of late and this horse is coming off of
a solid win at the level last out.
SELECTIONS: 4-7-5-2
Race 5: 6 DIVINE is making her debut for
connecDons that have them ready to roll
first Dme out and its not always you see
owner Peter Blum have horses with Saffie
Joseph Jr. 3 UNCAPTURED DOVE is steadily
improving and this is a distance she should
like here today. 1 RASTANI ran huge on de-
but despite not taking any money at the
beSng windows but don’t overlook this
Good Magic filly here today.
SELECTIONS: 6-3-1-7
Race 6: This is a HUGE trainer switch for the
2 MORGAN POINT first off the the claim for
Victor Barboza and coming out of a strong
race. 6 ROUGH ENTRY has been on the
bench for the last two months but every
thing from this barn can be dangerous. 3 SIR
OLLIE hasn’t made a start at GP since last
year but this is a big drop in class aLer fac-
ing stronger at Tampa this winter.
SELECTIONS: 2-6-3-4
Race 7: 2 NO ACTION was a li3le overclass-
es in her last effort aLer winning for the 40k
MOC level and this might be a be3er fit for
her today. 4 FOGGY NOTE is facing winners
for the first Dme aLer blasDng maiden
claimers and someDmes horses like this get
on a winning roll. 7 CAJUN FANTASY was
bet last Dme like she was never going to
lose and she was a winner the whole way
around the track.

SELECTIONS: 2-4-7-5

Race 8: 4 NOVELLIE and 8 FOREVER UN-

CAPTURED faced each other before but de-
spite 8 finishing ahead of the 4, NOVELLIE
has had one less race since facing each oth-
er on July 8th and gives her a bit more up-
side. 5 SOPHIA LAUREN hasn’t had a fast
dirt track lately and its hard to gauge her
ability because of it.

SELECTIONS: 4-5-8-6

Best Bet: R6: #2 MORGAN POINT

- HUGE barn switch first off the claim
- Cuts back in distance with aggressive pilot

Longshot: R3: #3 LUCKY DONNIE G

- Has more talent than shown in his dirt effort
- Upside in 1st tapeta try
