Trip notes by Michael Hammersly for stakes races run on April 14-15.
My top pick is RAUCOUS (#8), who looks interesting while cutting back to a sprint, given her closing style. She got a great ride from Eric Cancel when sneaking up the rail to win the Chelsey Flower last year, but she then followed that with an even better effort in the Jimmy Durante at Del Mar.
Selections for Sunday's card at Sha Tin.
A key change in the 11th race Saturday at Keeneland, where Alberobello drew in from the also-eligible list, makes the late pick five an appealing wager. Her presence may provide a “free square” in the sequence, reducing the cost and making it easier to spread in other races.
