7th Race Selections by K.C.M. THE HORSEPLAYERS JOURNAL
8 ROBIN CRUISER seems to be holding up quite well after missing the entire 2012 racing schedule for whatever reason(s). As a 2 year she was a
somewhat successful stakes performer. She earned more than $120,000 in that rookie campaign. Pinske is now the trainer. He usually shows up
on the local scene and it is good to see him back again. I think she can beat this group if ready for a best performance.
6 SMASHBOX is due to show us a winning performance. A couple of weeks ago I made the suggestion that Gillis would start to win more races on
a regular basis but we haven’t seen that development. Keeps tabs on him over the next little while. I’ll try for what should be an upset combination
in the exactor.
1 BRUSHSTROKES drops down again to land in a spot where she might be able to make some noise. McNair will soon start a driving suspension
(Sunday) and might be looking to produce best results leading up to that holiday courtesy of the Ontario Racing Commission. I’ll rate her in the third
spot to complete the triactor prediction but would also have to drop her down to the fourth slot if playing the superfecta.
5 SEASCAPE HANOVER missed by a small margin last time. She might have a similar fate tonight if the top rated rivals show up with a high level
performance. The superfecta players might have to consider as many as six or seven different options. This gal has to be on the list but I won’t
give her standout status.
THE FOLLOWING LISTED IN POST POSITION ORDER
(2) SHADYS M THREE beat bottom level rivals two back. The follow up wasn’t as productive but she was only slightly more than a length behind
the winner that night.
(3) ST LADS PEEPER didn’t make my top four list but will be the subject of a small wager in the win position. Her trainer is most dangerous when
the odds are high. I often make a play when that situation is available even if the rating is low. I’ve had some past success with that strategy.
(4) STAGE IT RIGHT has three in a row on the board finishes to assess. Zeron did win with her as the race favourite three back but failed last time
with the same status. Make a guess.
(7) MANVERS SHORT CUT makes her third start for the current team tonight after a claim from a $15,000 claimer. I rated her with upset status and
will make notes for a future race.
(9) FARMERS TUITION added her name to the long list of first time winners for trainer Richard Moreau. A repeat is not impossible to consider if you
think she can/will beat post 9.
(10) PALM PATROL responded in a positive manner to the class drop that was in effect last time. Earlier in the year she had some good results
against higher level competition. She was a question mark. If she can beat post 10 results could be much better than suggested.
