DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Wednesday, March 29, 2023

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.

1:09 GP 2nd SUPER GREMLIN (#1, 9-2) looks like controlling speed drawing inside and stretching to a mile. Repeat of well graded effort two back may make him tough to catch. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race

1:50 TAM 4th HIT BY A WAVE (#6, 8-1) has been away since November and now makes his seasonal and local debut but he seems to fit well here, as he could be the controlling speed in a race that's a little light on early zip; trainer Karyn Philipp has good stats with horses off this type of layoff, albeit from a small sample. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race

3:08 GP 6th LUNAR ROCKET (#7, 9-2) a beaten favorite in each of last pair but split pair of next out winners in key race two back and repeated the effort from a Beyer standpoint when upset again last time. Stays put off the claim and Irad signs back on. One more chance for this tag. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race

3:17 TAM 7th MORE DRAMA (#7, 9-2) weakened only late in that loss last time out and that was a very good effort, as the top three finishers were stalkers who sat just off the lead; big threat here if he's able to get clear in the opening stages and back down the early tempo. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race

3:47 TAM 8th LUVISANAKI (#7, 6-1) chased the 6/5 favorite and eventual winner through some fast fractions in that last sprint, and she was caught up in a race-long duel in her first start off the layoff; cuts back in distance but likely remains the one they'll have to reel in. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race

4:07 GP 8th BRAVO ZULU (#7, 12-1) drops to cheapest level yet, might offer some value as one to catch in finale. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race

4:50 TUP 7th DIXON TUFF (#6, 10-1) didn't do much in his debut but he got needed race experience and that is what matters most. Plus, 6 1/2 furlongs is tough for a debut. Connections paid $4,500 for this Cal bred yet they keep him at this level and at this distance. He draws best. One of two sibs is a multiple winner of 126K. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race

5:49 TUP 9th DODROPIN (#3, 8-1) won at this shortened sprint distance only two back and did so at 29-1. She actually improved her Beyer by a point in her most recent when 4th at almost 10-1. Connections find a good spot and now this gal goes third off the layoff. Last chance for a great price? -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race

6:47 TUP 11th DIRT FLIRT (#7, 7-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Scott Ehlers).| Get PPs for this race
