RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 3 STAGE NAME 2/1
	# 2 KEEN ON GREEN 6/1
	# 1 GINGEE 7/2

Appears to have a quite good class edge based on the latest company kept. Has garnered formidable speed figures in dirt route races in the past.

This jockey and conditioner team has produced some solid ROI numbers at this track. WISDOM OF OZ - With a very strong 78 Equibase Speed Figure last time out, will surely be a factor in this contest.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 2 C C'S PRIDE 8/5

Recorded a formidable Equibase Speed Figure in the latest race. Can run another good one in this affair.

My pick here is EL GRILLO. Has performed soundly lately in route races, posting a nifty 69 avg speed figure. Posted a solid speed rating in the latest race. Can run another good one in this affair.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 2 PARTY ON 5/2
	# 3 FIDELIUS 3/1
	# 1 LEATHERHEAD LURIE 10/1

I back PARTY ON here. Has been racing soundly and has among the strongest speed in the race for today's distance. With better than average trips to the winner's circle, Carmouche will probably have this gelding in excellent position to win the contest. Could beat this group given the 70 speed rating posted in his last outing. FIDELIUS - Franco has a win percent of 19 over the last month. The speed figure of 70 from his last affair looks very good in here. LEATHERHEAD LURIE - Alvarado has a win percent of 22 over the last 30 days.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 6 SHANGALOO 50/1
	# 12 MY WON LOVE 5/1
	# 4 DARN THAT TRIP 3/1

I think SHANGALOO is a very good selection particularly if the morning line of 50/1 holds. One of the strongest win percentages between this jockey and trainer make this filly dangerous. MY WON LOVE - Solid gains have been scored by players using this jock and handler tandem as of late. Is a sharp contender based on numbers earned lately under today's conditions. DARN THAT TRIP - The average class figure alone makes this entrant a solid contender. Had one of the strongest Equibase speed figs of this field in her last contest.

Jacobson has one of the best winning percentages in this field with entries running at this distance and surface. Looks formidable for the conditions of this contest today, showing solid figures in dirt sprint races lately. CAY TO POMEROY - Will almost certainly compete well in the early speed battle which bodes well with this field. It's a good sign that Nevin is using Ortiz on this entrant.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 7 ATLANTIC'S SMILE 9/5
	# 6 FRIVOLITY 5/2
	# 2 MAKE THE MOMENT 6/1

I have to support ATLANTIC'S SMILE here. Could provide positive returns based on solid recent speed figures with an average of 92. Has ran soundly in dirt sprint races. Looks formidable to be up on the lead at the first call. FRIVOLITY - With Rose getting the mount, watch out for this racer. Has to be carefully examined - I like the numbers from the last contest. MAKE THE MOMENT - With a nice Equibase class figure average of 100, has one of the most favorable class advantages in this group. With a quite good 96 speed figure last time out, will unquestionably be a factor in this race.

	# 9 HIDDENITE 4/1

I have to support FERZETTI here. Shows reliable Equibase Speed Figs on average overall when matched with the rest of this group of animals.

ALICE AND TRIXIE - Contessa has this filly running well and is a very strong selection based on the quite good speed figs posted in sprint races as of late. Ran a strong last race. HIDDENITE - Win percentage with this jock and trainer combo - 27 percent - formidable. This filly gets a boost with Ortiz in the irons.
