?q=100)

1:46 AQU 4th R CALLI KIM (#4, 5-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race
1:36 GP 4th GULLFAXI (#6, 7-2) ran well in her first 2 starts, both shorter sprints than this. She has tactical speed and pedigree-wise should enjoy the added ground. She gets blinkers and has 2 smart works since. Her lone sib is Prominencia (8-2-0-1, $11K). – Michael Hammersly | Get PPs for this race
2:03 WO 3rd Inner turf expert FOREST VIXEN (#6, 12-1) finished a clear second last out vs. $15K NW2 rivals, from which the winner exited to run third vs. $25K NW3 opposition. She probably isn't out of her league in this $25K NW2 tilt on the Tapeta. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race
2:15 AQU 5th XCELLENT MEN (#1A, 4-1) was the lone firster in that field when debuting at Colonial when facing a quality field; clearly had an issue around the turn in that first start for Jacobson while unable to be ridden and losing position, otherwise, he might well have won that race; blinkers on. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race
3:04 GP 7th ROD TWO ROD (#7, 6-1) looked like a new horse blasting much cheaper here Oct. 20. He was not only claimed by Sweezey he's almost tripled in value, a most encouraging sign. There's some back-class here, too, so he isn't out of place for this price. – Michael Hammersly | Get PPs for this race
4:04 WO 7th CALUSA DONNIE (#10, 3-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Ron Gierkink). | Get PPs for this race
4:10 AQU 9th DIANNESRETIRING (#5-1) was out-paced early on in the dirt sprint debut, before actually leveling off and making a game run in that race; gelding by a 30% turf sprint sire is out of a dam who earned the top figure of her career while winning her lone turf start. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race
5:00 DMR 4th MAHINA (#2, 3-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Brad Free). | Get PPs for this race
