DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Sunday, March 6, 2022
Daily Racing Form has served as the most trusted source of news and information about the sport since 1894, and moving forward we have decided to provide a free daily playbook – something that both hardcore horseplayers and casual observers can reference to get informed of each day’s action.
12:15 TAM 1st WORKING OVERTIME (#3, 6-1) is easily forgiven for that poor turf effort in her latest, and though she was behind LUNA QUEEN two back the latter set a slow pace on a loose lead, and this filly was up against it; better set up may be all she needs. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
1:52 AQU 2nd APRIL ANTICS (#4, 6-1) dropped back down to this level for her final start of 2021 and ran an underrated race there to gain third after finally swinging out in the stretch; returns at the same level with Lasix on and might have some improvement left in her yet. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:30 GP 6th Gotta like the outside draw for MALRAUX (#7, 8-1), who had his confidence bolstered two Sundays ago when earning that 79 BSF in a gate-to-wire jaunt over weak 'beaten' foes in his first try off the A.Sanchez claim; right back at 'em when using the same let's-go tactics. -Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:45 TAM 6th HARD LIGHTING (#3, 6-1) makes his local debut and fits nicely today, as he's a closer looking to make the last run and this is a field that features a fair amount of speed; Beyers put him in the middle of this, if he runs his best race in his first start since December. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:39 GP 8th Forgive the poor two-turn Tapeta try last out by HERE COMES BULLET (#9, 8-1) and suddenly he's among the four or five possibilities in this one-turn dirt mile for bottom-level open platers; tends to make his presence felt a long way when conditions are optimal, and in fact the outer post should afford him a clean and forward trip here; good as any. -Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:00 AQU 6th TIERGAN (#9, 6-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:04 OP 7th HOME RUN TRICK (#1, 5-1) is in the midst of another strong meet at Oaklawn. He's won two of his last three starts, and now is back in the claiming ranks after just missing in a starter allowance won by stakes winner Exulting. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:39 OP 8th WELL SPENT (#8, 4-1) gives up recency to some of these as this marks her first start since December, but like that she's a four-time winner facing some less-experienced foes. She also was fourth last out in a race that went in good time and note the third-place finisher from it came back to take an OP allowance with a Beyer of 84 and the ninth-place finisher, Oscarette, an N1X at FG, with a Beyer of 76. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
