Pocono: Horses to watch from Aug. 31 - Sept. 3

Saturday, August 31

JIVE NINETY FIVE (NW4400) took the lead at 36-1, yielded to the favorite's retake and was second best throughout.

SWEET SHUNEY MOON (CLM25000) rallied wide from third over around a weak outer flow, gained late gain and could get better trip in next.

MAKE IT EASY (NW2800) rallied the last turn and could be a factor if he moves earlier.

DEALINE HALL (W4-7) was in tight leaving and broke, rallied back, got in tight again as another broke, managed to survive all the drama and be second in scattered field. An uneventful trip might get it done.

COMBUSTION (NW13500) beaten favorite had poor cover racing second over, wheeled wide, gained late and can atone in next.
