Pocono: Horses to watch from June 30 - July 3

Saturday, June 30

IDEAL KISS (CLM15000) swung wide into the lane and rallied strong but late.

SKYFUL OF LIGHTERS (NW6000) rallied wide a long way and was a game 2nd best.

COURTLY CHOICE (HEMPTCONS) made a huge brush to the lead and jogged in the consolation. Should score more than a few wins.

FASHION CREDITOR (NW12000) well-bet second choice battled a long way with the odds-on favorite as the two drew away from the field but was second best in the photo.

Sunday, July 1

JAVES A LADY (W4-6FM) broke at the start, sat to the rear and had willingness in the lane. Beaten favorite will find a win soon.

LYONS JOHNNYJNR (PaSTARS) was a winner in first out and will win a few more with similar effort.

LAGERFIELD (NW225000) tucked early, pulled and brushed to the lead, dug in gamely but was nipped by the pocket horse. Beaten favorite should atone in quick order.

PROOF (PaSTARS) was parked to the lead, rated the half, met a stiff challenge, resisted gamely, put away the threat and then proved game to hold off the pocket-sitting threat.

Monday, July 2

SHOW EM AL LINDY (NW2) trotter seemed totally uninterested and content to watch the action from the rear to the third panel, rushed up and came wide with big finish but ran out of track.

LEGAL POWER (NW2) well-bet second choice got away in good order, let the speed develop, brushed to command, set a pressed pace and dug in but the pocketsitting favorite made his third move to gain the nod in quick mile.

ATTENTION HANOVER (NW2FM) rushed to the top, set a good clip and held with authority in very fast score for this level pacers.

ADMIRAL (NW3000) tucked early, pulled early, brushed to the top at 9-1, looked home but tired in the last steps.

Tuesday, July 3

WHO DAT LOVE (CLM7500) left to the top, got a bad shuffled, closed well from third over but it was too late.

MIKEY LIKES IT (NW4) trailed, rallied off poor cover and closed best of all but had too far to come.

BROTHERS N ARMS (NW4) was parked the mile,grinded up uncovered, challenged and tired but has to be respected in next race or two.

CHELSEAS A WINNER (NW10000) came uncoveed, challenged to the lane, weakened and was second best at 9-1 in last outing.
