Michael Hammersly (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 9: Angel Wave (PP: 9 ML 7/2)
Michael’s Comments:
“may have found her niche. After some good work on dirt she tried turf for $25K here April 7 and responded smartly, finishing a good 2nd. She drops a bit and that might be just what the Dr. ordered. It’s no shock she handles turf – her only sib, full-bro Mooning You, is a turf winner.”

Golden Gate Fields
Chuck Dybdal (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 1: Flying Home (PP: 2 ML 9/5)
Chuck’s Comments:
“ dropped to this level two back, winning the second condition at first asking. She stuck her head in front in the lane last time before settling for second at this third condition and will come tack to try to win at the same condition today. Is usually content to sit a bit early and fire in the lane, and the race seems to set up nicely for her.”
Gulfstream Park
Kenny Peck (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 7: Nergal (PP: 1 ML 3-1)
Kenny’s Comments:
” nearly pulled it off in his first start off the claim despite having to rally into a very slow pace in his last one, and though he came up a half-length short it was a very nice effort; he stands to improve today if he can work out a traffic-free trip from the rail, as there’s much more speed in this race and he should be set up nicely to make the last run.”
Hollywood Park
Brad Free (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 3: Go Forth North (PP: 6 ML 3-1)
Brad’s Comments:
“ A solid U.S. debut by maiden GO FORTH NORTH sets her up for a predictable win second time out. ‘NORTH broke slow in her comeback, but finished with run, and Paddy Gallagher-trained maidens frequently improve second start back. With a clean start she should crush this soft bunch of maiden fillies and mares.”
Mike Superstein (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 7: Ruination (PP: 5 ML 2-1)
Mike’s Comments:
“ aired in her first foray around two turns and looks tough right back against winners. The fact that she rated so nicely on the lead for Joel Rosario suggests that she doesn’t necessary need to be in front.”

“ is sent out by trainer Mike Doyle who has had early success at the meeting; her seasonal bow April 2nd was adequate as she closed belatedly to be third with Bob N Weave in second; today’s extra half furlong should be a help.”
