DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Wednesday, January 19, 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.

1:15 TAM 3rd I'M BUZZY (#5, 3-1) impressed in that maiden score, drawing off nicely late, and she also ran a good race in her first start over this course; meets winners for the first time but she's good enough to win this given a clean trip and an honest pace up front. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race

2:32 GP 5th GOLDEN EFFECT (#6, 12-1) rushed from tough post, sat a trip, hung late when trying turf for first time last month, more favorably drawn returning to the surface. Might just shake loose, get brave on front end if showing same early foot with these. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race

2:48 TAM 6th GRAMERCY (#5, 7-2) was unable to make up enough ground to win that last one but he was at a tactical disadvantage, off the pace in a race lacking speed and behind tepid splits; should get a better set up today. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race

3:05 GP 6th TIZ POSSIBLE DEAR (#5, 2-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch). | Get PPs for this race

3:18 TAM 7th THENORTHREMEMBERS (#6, 7-2) figures to be nicely set up in this claimer, as there is plenty of speed to his inside and out and he is at his best when he's able to sit off the pace and make one run; back on the turf after four straight tries on Gulfstream's synthetic strip and this does seem to be his best game. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race

3:37 GP 7th FLYING BLACK (#2, 4-1) perfect in two starts on the Tapeta, not facing any better than she handled last time at the starter level. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race

4:18 TAM 9th EYE ON THE CANDY (#9, 4-1) was off the board in both of his two turf tries to date but those races were against better, and he meets a seemingly average field for this class level; away since October but working well toward this return. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race

4:31 TUP 5th LADY JADE (#2, 8-1) tried the grass for the first time previously and ran evenly. That is the kind of effort we want to see when first on the grass. This mare should improve 2nd time on the weeds as turf Tomlinson is a very good 320. Connections find a very good spot and draw quite well for staking/closing trip. Mawing stays put and this girl goes third off the layoff. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race

4:42 GP 9th PERFECT PROVISION (#8, 7-2) comes up tagged for the first time, exits good showing on turf when finishing third behind 4/5 Halo of Fire after setting hotly contested pace. Might not be facing as much early pressure with these. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race

6:05 TUP 8th FINAL ROSE (#6, 8-1) drops a notch in class and goes third off the layoff. Solid tries in last two even though this gelding never got a breather. Today's race flow is much, much, better. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race
