Race 1
MAJESTIC TOUR got caught wide in debut after being well-bet. I look for improvement from this colt today. Rodolfo Garcia doesn't usually win with his first timers, but ITSASUPERRUNNER has a nice string of works leading up to this - he could be around.
The bet: $20 W #3 $5 ex box 3-5
Race 2
The switch back to Calder from the Gulfstream lawn might be just what the doctor ordered for ANGEL APPROVAL. LINK TO JIMMY has been a bit of a money burner lately but has found a pretty good spot and has been working like a champion.
The bet: $10 WPS #4 $5 ex box 4-8
Race 3
RUNAWAY FROLIC looks the best on paper, but these are 2 yr olds and the price will be miniscule. I'll try the double dropper from Tortora. The blinkers come off HAZELHURST today (Manny's 30% with that equipment change).
The bet: $15 WP #4
Race 4
There's enough cheap speed in here that leads me to find a filly that can produce some decent late interest. CATCHALUCKYSTAR has shown enough in past races to get the job done. Not crazy about the trainer, but you can't have everything.
The bet: $15 WP #4
Race 5
Pilotti is 2 for 2 making the dirt to turf switch with FENCELINENEIGHBOR, the 2nd being a stakes at Gulfstream. The filly broke her maiden on this track and is very consistent. Catalano seems to have found the proper motivation for HALO OF TRUTH and I expect to see her winging it down the lane. I am tossing FORMAL MISS entirely as I see a b-b-bounce on the horizon.
The bet: $15 WP #3 $5 ex box 3/5,7
Race 6
I backed END SWEEP'S GOLD in his last and he finished a close 2nd after a troubled start. Looking for a smooth trip today - we'll try him again.
The bet: $30 W #3
