Pocono: Horses to watch from June 28 - July 1

Saturday, June 28

MORE THAN GUAPPO (NW2/2YO) sat to the final turn, tipped third over, wheeled wide and closed well to be second best.

ODDS ON WILDLIRE (NW5) wired the field an impressive winner and looked to have more to give.

P L NOTSONICE (NW4400) sat to the rear, raced third over behind a gapping second-over foe the final turn and closed well to be second best to the winning favorite.

WAPITI BLUE CHIP (NW6) challenged the pace to the lane, took the lead as the odds-on favorite but was nailed in the last step. Would be no surprise to be a little tighter in next and get the prize.

Sunday, June 29

NEYREIT (XLM20000) moved to the half, put in a strong third panel, challenged to the lane before backing off at 10-1. Could be tighter in next so do not disregard.

THE ROGUE PRINCE (NW2) pulled to the third call, challenged and blew by to win as easily as the board indicated he would and seems to be in line for another score.

HAMMERING HANK (CLMLHCP30/40000) finished well from the back and should find his spot soon.

FERRETI (WO25000) beaten favorite was a bit late from 2nd over in last but should be kept in your figures in next.

DEMONE DEIVENTI LT (NW2800) put in a good mile posting quick fractions at 10-1 but was nailed in the last step by the late-closing favorite.

Monday, June 30

FURNEAUX (NW1) retook, set his own clip, stepped it up to the third panel and was a handy winner to score his maiden victory.

AN HONEST BUCK (PaStars) was parked to the lead, set a steady clip and held well with a tap or two but looked comfortable.

CHAMPAGNE ROOM (NW4FM) suffered bad luck in race before this with broken equipment. Today she was second over, went wide, finished full of pace an nailed it on the wire.

DOUGS BABE A (WO25000M) finished full of pace at over 22-1 from second over to be second best to the odds-on favorite.

Tuesday, July 1

CRYSTAL COAST (NW1FM) went down the road in quick mile drawing off impressively.

TRANSPARENCY (NW6400) met pressure the last quarter of a speedy mile, dug in gamely and held for the dead heat.

HOWLINGATTHEMOO DK (NW4500) beaten favorite went to the last step over a tiring track only to get nailed by the pocket sitting second favorite.

BETTORS DESIRE (NW2) pulled in the final turn, rallied well and just missed at 19-1 in very quick mile.

DEMARARA HANOVER (NW2) brushed to the third panel and drew off easily in a romp.

METAL MAN (CLM12500) pulled in the final turn, gained cover, closed well and just missed.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS (NW2) finished full of pace from second over and should find the big bucks in next race or two.
