tougher. KENTUCKY REBEL will be tested early and
FLOAT BLUE CHIP will be closing.

Race 6, Overbid
The FFA mare division gets a new look tonight as a number
of the mares that we’ll see throughout the summer and later
into the year make their seasonal debut. TEA PARTY
PRINCESS already won the Open at Woodbine last out in
her first start of the year and will likely be showing speed
again. Won half her starts last year at three, and may offer
some additional value being the only Burke horse in here
not part of the entry. PUT ON A SHOW makes her first
start in a year and a half and lands post 10. I’d imagine a
very conservative effort coming, but will be one to watch.
ANNDROVETTE was the sport’s older mare of the year in
2011, and that Breeders Crown win was dominant. Has two
qualifiers under her belt, could be ready to go right now.
HIGHER AND HIGHER lost to the tripped out SYMPHONY
IN MOTION in the Cape & Cutter final, gets tested even
further.
Race 7, Fillies & Mares N/W $10,000 L5
BLING had too far to come last week in her drop to this
level, but it was a race she probably should have been in a
better position to begin with. That 1/27 race from Yonkers
would be more than good enough; still deserves to be
favored. WHATS NEW PUSSYCAT took her tour of the
track last week but now lands post 10 with two of the main
contenders immediately to her inside. Qualified second to
Put On A Show two back. CLASSIERIVERBOAT N
brushed to the lead into the stretch last out but ran out of
steam a little bit late. That was over a sloppy track, I can
give one more chance from the rail. I went against RUN
ON LUCK last week when she had the rail and got burned;
let’s see if she can do it again but this time from out here.
Speed will be coming.
Race 8, Rags To Riches
LAGUNA BEACH had his winning streak derailed last week,
but it took heavy pressure throughout and a :53:4 half mile
to do him in. He still hung in there pretty well despite it, and
his race last week went in 1:51:1, by far the fastest division.
ALASTAIR HANOVER rebounded after faltering two back
when heavily backed. That 30K claiming line from three
back and the rail tonight are intimidating. ROCKIN GLASS
showed sharp pace on both ends of the mile two back and
then took them wire to wire last out; this field is a bit
Race 9, N/W $10,000 L5
TSMLIL ORPHAN ANDY nearly overcame a wide trip and
stalled cover over that sloppy track last Friday to just miss
against the pocket sitting winner Tigers Too Good. Was a
very strong second to In Focus two back and does have a
big class edge over most of these. One more chance.
FOUR STARZ CREDIT looked like a winner last out midway
through the stretch but was caught by a very sharp
looking rival. He’ll be going right to the front again and
another 1:54 type mile could very well get the job done
this time. UP FRONT BEN has been here before, and
now makes his debut for Julie Miller. I wouldn’t be at all
surprised with an improved effort. WHYBABYWHY makes
her second start back; could be closing at a long price.
