9th Race Selections by K.C.M. THE HORSEPLAYERS JOURNAL
9 FANTASTIC FLIRT will be an okay item if a longshot is what you are looking for. You should consider that approach in any of the pick 4 races is
my opinion. That strategy doesn’t work every time but when it does the payoff is always much more lucrative. He’s not going to appeal to some
bettors for more than one reason but I’m willing to give him a chance.
5 STRAWBERRY WIND makes his first recent start above the low tier of the Nw2 classification tonight. In January when he competed at this level
he was not very productive (Finished 6th and 9th). He might be better now than he was at that time however. The good current form suggests that
he can play a role in the triactor or the superfecta.
8 DESIGNER GENES perked up last time to double his 2013 win production. I wasn’t confident enough to predict that he would come right back to
double up. I thought a rating lower than the top two might work best but others will disagree with that assessment. I did give him the role of race
favourite in the morning line assessment. The price has to be reasonable. Anything too low would take away some of his appeal.
1 IVANA HANOVER might only suck along in a position far off the leader(s). That strategy might work well enough to make her a triactor/superfecta
factor. Some of the others are likely to run into a problem of one kind or another. She’s my choice to finish off my list of top four candidates. The
price should be right.
THE FOLLOWING LISTED IN POST POSITION ORDER
(2) SEE R CHIN WIN has twice this year. Both were taken at this track with the most recent on March 28 over a field lower level rivals. Can’t rule
her out completely.
(3) JOLIE BLUE CHIP has a sprinkling of breaks in her history but not enough to make it big problem. The improved post position should help.
Christoforou helped to engineer a mild upset with her not that long ago. Maybe.
(4) ADREAMSCOMETRUE AS was given a double digit quote in the morning line. Those odds relate only to the win position. She’s worth
considering when planning strategy for the single race wagers but I’d have to say risky for the top spot.
(6) JOSEPH GERARD is a bit of a question make. One of his recent failures can be attributed to post 10. He’ll be an interesting alternative at the
right price.
(7) COPAIN DUHARAS should be offering a price in the upset/longshot range if my guess is right. Let’s watch to see how the odds play out and
then decide. If he does get more support than suggested he might be worth a look.
(10) HES A LINDY didn’t have much to offer last time. Allard might have him set up for an improved performance but I’m going to take a watch and
wait approach.
