Hippodrome 3R: Sunday Invitational analysis

Hippodrome 3R will offer a pair of C$60,000 Invitationals as part of its “memorial day” card that kicks off at noon on Sunday, October 1. Below we look at the two rich Invites.

Race 8 - POULICHES ET JUMENTS INVITATION

(4) IN THE MOOD ships into town for Shawn Steacy after chasing better foes at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Mare has won four of her last five starts on half-mile tracks and should prove tough to beat here unless one of the others steps up. (2) JKS ROLLIN BABY was used hard and got too fired up last week. Louis-Philippe-Roy in the bike today is a nice plus. (6) CELIA BAYAMA took a lot of air last week.

Race 10 - INVITATION pace

(3) CADILLAC BAYAMA also comes in from Mohawk where he’s been tackling slightly better. You can’t see it on paper but his record on this oval is 7-6-1-0. (4) THE LIGHT SPEED took plenty of air from an outside post and simply wore down #5 in his last try over this track. He’s 20-for-21 first or second this year. (1) HP MOMENTUM also comes in from Mohawk with form.
