Pocono: Horses to watch from Mar. 30 - Apr. 2

Saturday, March 30

BAMSKI (CLMHCP15/175000) was second over behind weak cover but closed well to earn a look in next race or two.

NEVER SAY NEVER N (CLMHCP15/17500) was parked the mile, grinded all the way and tired. A better trip could get the pacer in the winners circle soon.

PARTNER DOLAN (W4-7) closed well from third over to earn second place and bears watching.

GRAY DRAGON (NW6400) well-bet second choice yielded twice along the way to be a solid second best to the winning favorite.

VULCAN STAR N (NW9500) rallied wide to clear dead cover, chased uncovered but was second best to the pocket-sitting winner.

Monday, April 1

GILLYS DE VIE (NW1) beaten favorite finished strong but had a bit too far to come. Should atone in next race.

SOLANGE HANOVER (NW1FM) yielded for the pocket and blew but to break maiden in first race of the season.

TACTICAL LORI (NW1FM) was bet like a winner and did just than to break her maiden in her first effort of the year.

OBJ (NW1FM) just missed in her debut effort but earn a trip to the winners circle with huge down-the-road blowout romp. Will win another race or two.

VICTOR LASZIO (NW1) was an impressive front-stepping 'victor' in his first start of the year and should be tough to catch in next.

HUGRYHUNGRY HIPPO (NW1) flew home from the back of the pack to just miss in first start and should be heard from in next.

Tuesday, April 2

ONLYTHETUFFSURVIVE (CLM7500) sat pocket and won going way in latest.

FIGHT SONG (GAME/CLAIMS) well-bet second choice was a handy front-stepping winner in quickest of the 6 divisions and seems to be a major player.

EMOTIONS RICHES (GAME/CLAIMS) beaten favorite was in a gapping pocket but second best to the top one at every call.

FORGOT THEWALLET A (NW6400M) wired the field in a good time over the sloppy track in latest.

SLIP THE HUNDY N (NW4400) wired the field as comfortably as the board indicated he should and will be a strong possibility in next.
