Race 1

Horse Number: 3

Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: FUN TIME CHARLIE
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: MR RIDGETAKER
Odds: 5-1

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: PISTOLS ASPIRATION
Odds: 7-2

Race 1 Comments: STORM’S COMING has had tough trips in all recent starts including a long uncovered try in latest. 6-year-old is sharper than form indicates and can take weekly opener with any kind of better trip. FUN TIME CHARLIE just failed to hold on last time and looms the main danger from the pole but has made breaks in 2 of his last 4 and may be a bit risky at likely short price.

Race 2

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: GREY ROCKET
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: P L PORTIA
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: BLUE BELL BEAUTY
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: WIGGLE MY COOKIE
Odds: 5-2

Race 2 Comments: GREY ROCKET comes off improved uncovered try, pushing a :29 third quarter before weakening in just third start of the year. Gets the pole and should continue to improve for top connections. P L PORTIA had wide trip from tough spot, finished well. Drops off that effort and moves inside.

Race 3

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: CHARLIE BAR
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: TOP DOLLAR
Odds: 9-2

Horse Number: 4

Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: K J PHILLIP
Odds: 7-2

Race 3 Comments: CHARLIE BAR was a powerful wire to wire winner scoring by 9 ¾ lengths against similar group. Finds a good spot and gets the nod to repeat for barn that’s doing well with it’s limited stock.

Race 4

Horse Name: LADY WARRIOR**
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: UNBROKEN CIRCLE
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 1

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: DIVA DALI
Odds: 5-2

Race 4 Comments: LADY WARRIOR had no shot from tough spot last time following a solid speed try two back which saw him hit three quarters in 1:27.1 before giving way grudgingly. Drops, moves inside and seems faster than these.
