Post Time: 12:28 ET Track: Laurel (2nd Race) Horse: WORLD ON FIRE (#5, 5-1) WORLD ON FIRE didn't do much more than pass some tired runners for second last time out, but in his second start against winners, he showed way more interest than he did at long odds on Nov. 14; the most important angle in these sorts of races is finding one with some room for improvement, and this gelding might just fit the bill off a short break. – Patrick Moquin | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 1:20 ET Track: Gulfstream (3rd Race) Horse: ALONGCOMESAWOMAN (#4, 7-2) ALONGCOMESAWOMAN steps up off the claim in KY finale when beaten as odds on favorite but still fits with this group at her best. Worked well for this. – Mike Welsch | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 1:56 ET Track: Laurel (5th Race) Horse: FLIRTY BAJAN (#4, 8-1) FLIRTY BAJAN is admittedly a stab, but the gelding should seem familiar to local fans; the first-time starter shares a sire, trainer, and owner with Barbadian Runner, the best 3-year-old in the Mid-Atlantic region last year; sire Barbados has a 17% strike rate with debuting runners, a number that jumps all the way to 40% with 3-year-olds and up (6-for-15); Walters doesn't typically send out his firsters with much intent, but this one has been training exceptionally well ahead of this debut; worth a look. – Patrick Moquin | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 2:26 ET Track: Laurel (6th Race) Horse: P J'S SONG (#10, 6-1) P J'S SONG has been plugging away at this claiming level since November, and though he seemed to do just fine stretching out to a mile last time out, he seemed to have better luck in two softer fields at six furlongs and will return to that distance; he had a very taxing trip last time out and still finished up well for fourth, so he seems to be working toward a winning effort. – Patrick Moquin | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 3:00 ET Track: Santa Anita (1st Race) Horse: ONLY REPUTATION (#7, 4-1) ONLY REPUTATION gets the nod in a weak $10k claiming N2L route, despite uncertainty regarding two turns and dirt. But she has been facing much better, and her previous turf routes were not that bad. She drops from Cal-bred allowance, and is the lukewarm choice to win with a pressing trip. – Brad Free | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 3:10 ET Track: Aqueduct (7th Race) Horse: AMBRIDGE (#5, 10-1) AMBRIDGE failed to get early position, before trying a run into a front-running winner when stretched out two back; improved with a better trip to win his next start easily 20 days later; makes his return for a dangerous trainer, and he still has some room to improve. – Mike Beer | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 3:20 Track: Gulfstream (7th Race) Horse: MOON LANDING (#3, 6-1) MOON LANDING is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch). | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 4:10 ET Track: Aqueduct (9th Race) Horse: BEAU'S BELLA (#4, 10-1) BEAU'S BELLA is by 12% first-out sire Beau Liam; her half-brother, Works for Me, has proven to be best (or, at least, fastest) as a turf sprinter, but he broke his maiden on dirt early on, and is also a stakes winner sprinting on this surface; Englehart among the best on the grounds with first-time starters. – Mike Beer | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 4:15 ET Track: Fair Grounds (6th Race) Horse: SOMETHING STRONGER (#3, 4-1) SOMETHING STRONGER is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch). | Get Past Performances for this race Looking for more action?
