was within 2 1/2 lengths of a 45-and-change half when turned back for his first sprint in three months, and will likely have an easier time matching up against a more leisurely pace dropping from N1x company; third back from layoff.”

Golden Gate Fields

rebounded nicely from the worst start of his career and turned in his best race yet last out. He drops another notch to the bottom level here and has an easy maintenance drill since raced. Decent early foot and is outside of his main pace rival .”

Santa Anita Race Track
Michael Hammersly (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 2: Warrensmysterydice (PP: 1 ML 6-1)
Michaels’s Comments:
may be ready to turn the corner. The filly took off blinkers, moved to a route and looked super blasting maidens March 4. Yes, it’s first time vs.winners and first time turf today, so the hurdles are not insignificant, but she’s bred to handle this, obviously enjoys going long and leading rider Bejarano sees fit to ride. He and Gutierrez have done well together the past 16 months or so (29%).”

Woodbine Racetrack (thoroughbred)
Jim Bannon (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 1: My Cat Tale (PP: 2 ML 9/5)
Jim’s Comments”
competed earlier this season in New Orleans without producing then was shifted to Oaklawn Park where she had a better speed approach; she was in a duel with the 4-5 favourite; she gave way gradually and finished third to that tough winner; she comes in for the Steve Asmussen barn who earlier at the meet sent Cowboy Sheik and Bwana Z
from that locale to win here
