Race 1

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: SHADOWOFTHENORTH
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: DIAMONDSFOREMBER
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: SIR MACHALOT
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: PRECIOUS BLUE CHIP
Odds: 9-2

Race 1 Comments: SHADOWOFTHENORTH isn’t exactly a win machine (0 for 14 on the year) but has shown signs of life in recent including a game uncovered try against slightly better last time and a decent show finish at this level two back. Gets the rail and may have reached now or never time.

Race 2

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: GENTLEMENSATTITUDE
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: KABOOM POW
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: HAYMITCH
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: HUGH HEFNER N
Odds: 5-1

Race 2 Comments: GENTLEMENSATTITUDE made a strong middle half brush but couldn’t clear through stepped up :28.3 third panel, didn’t fade badly. Unlucky 4-year-old has had nothing but tough trips in all recent starts and may prove faster than form from this spot.

Race 3

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: PIER HO TEMPTATION
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: DESIRED TREASURE
Odds: 9-2

Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: DANISHDUJOUR
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: ROCK N ROLL LEGACY
Odds: 7-2

Race 3 Comments: PIER HO TEMPTATION has missed two months since lame scratch back in June. Had useful qualifier in which he closed with :57.1 final half and now takes scarey drop. Is better than these if anywhere close to sound but should be proceeded with caution.

Race 4

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: SALVADORES SUN*
Odds: 5-1

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: ALL ABOUT RUSTY
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: URBANA BAYAMA
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: CAPTAIN NEMO
Odds: 3-1

Race 4 Comments: SALVADORES SUN Plainridge shipper has chased scorching miles in recent and should fit at this level for barn that’s winning at 31%.
