not much to munch on today at del mar. here's a couple to bite at.
r4: winsome miss. sadler much better than the numbers would indicate with first timers and this field looks awful with the exception of favorite top ingredients and perennial also-ran dances on clouds. 'miss gets the hot riding julie krone and has been working in steady, if unspectacular fashion for the cagey sadler barn. if she breaks alertly, i'd give her a look in here.
r5: voodoo's sister. i'm playing against likely favorite indian blanket, who looked like she blew a gasket in her second start in june, which necessitate yet another layoff. 'sister scored at a big price last year at hollywood and now comes back for polanco, who is better than that awful 3% win percentage. i get pval aboard, a good price an da horse who ahs proven fresh off the bench. what a country. the other to look at it is afro look, from o'neill barn. this one has a lot of early gas and may get brave on the front end today.
r6: handymanbill. should be a great betting race and i'm playing against both frankel and mullins. call me crazy, but i've never liked denied and sumitas that much and 'bill ran a huge race at bay meadows in june. murano does scare me a bit, but he's got a bad post and i'm looking for julie julie julie to have 'bill right on the pace fron the get go.
r7: no value here with stalking tiger so perhaps we can get some with the exacta to don'tsellem short, who broke poorly last out and faded chasing the pace. he should run better in here and i look for him and stalking tiger to cross the wire 1-2.
r8: agoerin. godolphi/darley whatever you want to call them have been going great guns this year and harty should have this one primed for a good performance on the stretchout. oopstheregoes looks to be the main danger for pval and baffert, as that one is very likely to show improvement this afternoon. maybe midnight would be my top selection, but from the 10-hole, solis will have to some heady maneuvering to stop from losing position.
good luck.
