Another reminder- as you read this I am driving to Texas. Tuesday picks are/will be posted, but then no picks until the March 5 card. I will be back then. Good luck at the windows.
Race 1: 3 Soaring Cloud- First time tag, but hasn’t shown much against better; 4 Special Favor- Gets Deaton as Stahl chooses off, may need one more start; 1 Flashy B Skipalong- Really don’t like this $1300 purchase, but Ryan chose over the four, who I do like.
Race 2: 3 Diehl’s Deal- Quadruple class drop to below the level of his last win; 1 Savage Hall- Also gets class relief, but has done just moderate work lately; 2 Laser Bay- Drops below level of a good 2nd place finish.
Race 3: 3 The Big Wazzoo- Maybe Elliott can get him home; 5 Currently Flying- Has been doing better work lately; 4 Happy Riggs- Some tough trips lately for the back class.
Race 4: 4 Cinnamon Road- No gate speed, decent closer, let’s see if that changes with Aaron; 3 Fancy Schmansy- Very tough trip (not a brief bid) in the drop to this class; 2 Dreamie Affair- Dominated in last but moves up in 3rd back angle; 1 That’s Textbook- Minor factor from the rail.
Race 5: 2 High Gear Speed- Class drop & a good draw for E.D. & Bobby; 1 Illusion Offreedom- Beats these with Aaron 6 back; 3 Nico Mirabel- Not a threat to win, but can easily wrap the tri.
Race 6: 6 Not To Be Denied- Has been awesome after three years away; 1 Tsm Queen B T- Hasn’t shown much speed, but has gotten results here and gets the rail here; 3 Web Charger- Very consistent, but consistently third.
Race 7: 2 Noble Maximus- Form was good before a pair of snowman draws; 3 Dragon Rider- Moves up off a very good win; 4 Napa’s Jokester- Better at $3k, but can contend with Elliott; 6 Magic Dart- Showed signs of life in last and like the #4, has some back class.
Race 8: 1 Slide Lock- Shows enough recent wins for me + good work in rest; 3 Capricious Art- Good win last time & a 3rd back angle; 6 Hot Soup- Consistently on board, but not winning.
Race 9: 3 Lotsa Help- Three straight snowmen wrecked recent chances; 4 Cat’s Run- Consistent performer gets a barn change; 1 Conductor’s Timeout- Speedster gets class relief.
Race 10: 3 Polo Joe- Class relief off the claim and should go forward for Deaton; 2 Artistic Dreamer- Dropped to this level and raced big from outside, but winner was too tough; 7 Auto Pilot- Moderate work against the $8s, these are softer; 1 See Buns- Waking up a bit recently.
Race 11: 1 Green Acre Pill- Good form and the rail, Wyatt chose over #4; 3 Liftoff Bayama- Is in at his best level here; 5 G Rod- Will be on the point and one of these days he will last.
Race 12: 1 Krissy K- Her form is tailing, but that is relative when you have 23 wins in 14 moths; 4 Tropicante- Moves up off a three race win-streak; 2 Blastaway Sahbra- On Memories alone.
Race 13: 3 Red Heads Star- Robin chose off, so he gets Stahl and always does work; 2 Blarney Stone- Gets Aaron and a soft spot; 5 Dream Sunrise- More effective when drawing further inside; 1 Cruisin Sam- Rail makes this longshot worth considering on bottom of the ticket.
