Thursday’s Best Bet: – 7 – HALLANVAARA – RACE 7
Thursday’s Longshot Play: 5 – JILLI MARIE – RACE 6
RACE 1: 2- LION KINGDOM; 1- ROCKET JOE COPPER; 3 – BLUE MAX; 6 – MASTER SPY
RACE 2: 6- WHERE IS ESSA; 5 – JACK; 1 – CHAIRMAN RAINBOW; 8- CRUMLIN LAD
First time on the turf for maiden Where Is Essa and he is by a sire who loved grass as do his offspring. The dam of the top pick has also produced a couple of grass winners. Jack is overdue for his maiden win just like ‘Essa’.
RACE 3: 1 – MASSETO (GB); 5- SILENT POET; 4 – BUSHIDO; 2- NAPA SPIRIT (IRE)
RACE 4: 4- FEDALINE; 2 – MISS MOLLY LALOU; 8- GYPSY MAGIC; 1- FAVORITE CHANNEL
The pick 4 begins with a tricky maiden dash and class dropping Fedaline is one of the most logical to break through. I liked Miss Molly Lalou’s season debut but she was not as good last time and seeks a bounce back. The hot Bev Chuff barn sends out Gypsy Magic and she should have a better stretch kick.
RACE 5: 2 – BE LIKE CLINT; 10 – MIDWAY MISCHIEF; 5- NONNO’S LITTLE BOY; 1 – SHAMATEUR
RACE 6: 5 – JILLI MARIE; 3- MONASTERY LANE; 4- SPARKLE SAMMY; 7- OHEAVENS
RACE 7: 7- HALLANVAARA; 10 – ZIPPITY DAY; 9- TENPENNY NAIL; 2- ABSOLUTE JEWEL;
RACE 8: 5- DELPHIA; 4 – CYMBAL COURT; 7 – STRATEGERIZED; 6- THE ARCHANGEL
One of the latest workouts from Delphia saw her edge a stakes winning workmate. She has the breeding to win at first asking.
RACE 9: 1 – HARD ROCK WARRIOR; 2- KIMONO KATE; 4 – CANDY WINE; 5 – ASHLEE’S RING; 10 – LA PRINCESSA POLLY
