Harrah's Philadelphia: Friday 6/21 Analysis

By James Witherite
Race 1
8 - ROSY OUTLOOK looks to bounce back after being reeled in at head-stretch last week. Debuts for Surick; June 7 win noted.
7 - WYNNFRITH pounced from the pocket and evaded a stoutly closing Big Chute to win. Wide post looms; be mindful of value.
2 - BIG CHUTE performed far better than her 26-1 odds last week, and in fact has rallied to hit the ticket in her last four $10k tries.
Race 2
8 - PONDER THE ODDS bounced back a fortnight ago and sprinted off at will to trounce similar. Tough to beat off that mile.
3 - ART LECTURE made a bid for the lead at the eighth pole last out and still held third after flattening. Staying power is generally good.
2 - ACTRESS HANOVER rises on arrival from Pocono after three straight top-four finishes. Inside draw lands her close with ease.
Race 3
5 - MIMI'SPEARLOFLINDY vaulted from the pocket a fortnight ago after stakes assignments proved too tough. Mild step up.
7 - LAPPED BY LINDY is a two-time stakes winner at 3, but has suffered breaking issues of late as well. Capable if on task; mind value.
1 - FASHION RACHEL was a minor player in Stallion Series events to start the year. Pole keeps her close on the step down.
Race 4
7 - HYWAY MARCUS drops back to a proven level after early exertion did him in last out. He's fast and versatile.
2 - BOYZ N GUITARS brushed and kicked away from similar at Pocono on Monday after a solid closing bid around cover. Sharp as well.
1 - GREAT EMANCIPATOR won at this level at Freehold a month ago, but lacked on debut for Surick. Could be sharper coming right back.
Race 5
6 - WARRAWEE SHIPSHAPE steps down on arrival after toiling late in tougher fields. Raw speed is mighty encouraging.
5 - MISS RUBY cleared, yielded, and chased to protect second last out. Similar await; midpack draw suits her well.
8 - IMPACTER stayed on wide of rivals to hit the board in his last two.
3 - LAZURUS drops after lacklustre lines of late. Speed is ample.
Race 6
1 - DUDESALADY put together two solid local efforts, both against tougher. After nearly lasting on June 7, she drops again.
7 - MY SISTER LUCIE invades from Tioga after game efforts to narrowly miss in her last four! This represents a lateral move.
3 - USE YOUR NOODLE came back from a long spell with a solid third-place effort at this class. Expect sharper second out.
Race 7
7 - D GS SHADOWSBELL hasn't won this season, but showed good pressing and chasing ability last month. Gains Tetrick.
1 - DEEP DREAMER almost won on arrival a fortnight ago, but was just collared by Eden Paige. Pole can aid on the slight step up.
3 - BRING ME DIAMONDS just missed last out, but improved when able to secure an easy pocket. She should be close enough here, too.
Race 8
8 - MYSTICAL WYNN lunged late to just miss Queen Of Trixs on arrival last week. Similar await; form edge is crystal clear.
3 - RAGTIME HANOVER passed tired foes for fourth in his last two Stallion Series outings. Class and post relief both aid.
5 - HILLOFAMISTERY has been plagued by breaks of late, but he proved a convincing winner at this level four back. Mind value.
Race 9
5 - ABIGAIL DAWN chased for a no-match second to Philly Hanover in her Meadows PASS. She's not missed the board this year!
7 - LYONS HEDGEABET just missed at this level in her second start for Dowse. Wide draw poses a new obstacle, but she's warming up.
4 - SWEET CHERRY made late inroads in two starts at this level after a pair of solid N3L scores. A credible late factor with cover.
Race 10
2 - ROCK N SHARD N beat N8L types two back before giving way to pressure in her last. Credible mid-price play with easier.
1 - OBVIOUS BLUE CHIP got back in the win column last week thanks to class and post relief. Tetrick's choice of three here.
4 - ELLA CHRISTINA was a game second at this level last time she raced here. She gains Nap on arrival; "horses for courses"?
Race 11
2 - KEENE OLIVIA trounced tougher at Yonkers on Tuesday, and she carries strong form into the race. Logically the one to beat.
6 - STRONG OPINION is another Cullipher trainee making her local debut after mild success at Hoosier. Tetrick's option.
5 - ROLLING GOING GONE was a victim of traffic trouble at Yonkers last out, but showed good staying power with similar at Pocono.
Race 12
5 - OBERTO debuts for DiDomenico after rallying into top-three finishes twice in his last three Toronto outings. Late kick a plus.
6 - WAYWARD MAN hit the board in three of four, from leading, pressing and closing trips alike. Versatility truly encourages.
1 - CLASSY GUY broke in his Stallion Series race last week, but rallied to save fourth. Easier and the pole await; mind value.
Race 13
1 - NOMO VOLO won a PASS at Pocono two back and recovered from a break to save fifth in the Currier & Ives. Edge noted.
6 - PAT MATTERS broke both times she raced at Woodbine, but she chased strongly in NJ on May 31. Debuts for Nifty; David opts on.
5 - NAVARONE HANOVER is a stakes-placed filly who hit the board in 75% of her career outings to date. Picks up Tetrick.
Race 14
7 - A OLIVEINMYMARTINI chased tougher OK at Yonkers on Monday, and she stayed on with similar at Pocono three back.
4 - BRUNHILDA missed third-level rivals from the pocket last week, and won at that level back in April. Drops off a solid bid.
2 - FOR THE RECORD also steps down, doing so after floating forward and grinding into third at Harrington. Inside draw can aid.
