Pocono: Horses to watch from July 15 - July 18

Saturday, July 15

WATKINS (NW18000) showed strong late foot from third over in last and earns a look in next.

WEGOTTATRUCKYEA (NW6000) got parked the mile, challenged hard into fast fractions and tired while holding together gamely through the stretch.

WILBERFORCE (NW18000) flashed quick late speed from third over in most recent outing just missed the odds-on favorite.

TOP DOLLAR (NW12000) was parked a long way and had to slow down early when the pocket sitter tried to retake but settled back to the pocket, got stuck uncovered, challenged to the mid stretch and tired. Beaten favorite can atone in next.

BENJIS BEST (NW1) was a quick down the road winner in last and should take another.

CATCH THE GAME (NW1) short priced front-stepping favorite met a mild challenge from the well-bet second choice and proved best.

SILVERMASS VOLO (NW5) swung out in the final turn, followed wide, stacked widest and finished best but had too far to come.

PEE WEE HANOVER (NW3000) left well at 49-1, yielded the lead, lost the pocket, sat to the lane, showed some good trot up the cones and a win should be in the near future.

Monday, July 17

WINDSONGMUSCLELADY (CLMHCP15/20000) was parked uncovered after his escort, continued gamely and closed in determinedly but was held off by the favorite.

REVRAC HARBOUR (CLMHCP15/20000) closed strong from an impossible spot in last at 28-1.

QUIET GIANT (NW6000) was hard pressed to the last steps in game placing and will be hard to beat in next.

GRACIES PARADE (CLMHCP15/20000M) was shut out of a tuck, rallied uncovered to the lead, set a good clip and held well.

Tuesday, July 18

MANCHEGO (PaSS) put in a very impressive effort winning her 3rd straight.

SEVIVORUM (PaSS) looked comfortable closing from second over and winning her division of Sire Stakes action.

ROCK ME GENTLY (NW6300FM) showed some good pace at 13-1 chasing the favorite home in last outing.

S M S PRINCESS (PaSS) rushed to the lead, had some trouble cutting a bunch of cones, yielded for the pocket and dug in through the lane for second but cut another cone or two. A little more experience should straighten that out.
