Saturday, May 16
ANOTHER C NOTE (PaSS) yielded, retook and was a speedy winner in his division. Trainer loves winning so keep this one in mind.
WISH YOU WELL (NW17500) finished well from third over at 18-1 to pass by a slew of foes and bears watching.
SOHO SANTORINI A (WO25000) rallied late and wide and just missed at 83-1 in most recent and can get it done in next.
SEA BISTRO HANOVER (STALLION) closed well from third over to be second best.
MOMENT IS HERE (NW13500) was second over and closed well. Would be no surprise in next.
SPUNKY HANOVER (STALLION) well to the lead, yielded, sat pocket, won going away by over six.
Monday, May 18
IM A BIG SHOT (CLM12500) was on the lead and hounded to the lane, dug in and held while tiring but was nipped by the fast-footed closing favorite.
THE BOSS SAID (CLM12500) was parked the mile, challenged the top one to the lane before backing off and either or both could get luckier in next.
WHISKEY BREATH (CLMHCP20/25000) wired the field and was claimed again.
SUNDAY SHOES (NW9500) was parked to the lead, met pressure the last 3/8 and tired late. Should be tighter in next and that could be enough.
MR PENNER (PAStars) well-bet second choice sat pocket and nailed the pacesetting favorite. Will be hard to beat in next race or two.
NEIGHVER PUNT (PAStars) was parked to the lead, yielded to prohibitive favorite's brush, sat pocket second best at every call at odds of 17-1 and bears watching.
Tuesday, May 19
ABRUZZO (CLAIMS) put in a good effort on the front end but was nailed by persistent long shot. Got claimed and will be in the battle again.
KASHED UP A (CLM10000) tucked early, challenged and won going away. Also got claimed and should be looking to impress new connections.
BREEZE INHERITANCE (NW1FM) rushed up, challenged, won going away and the way she was bet indicates she has another win or two coming up.
YOU GOT IT (CLAIMS) beaten favorite had to rally wide around dead cover, cleared, challenge, had aim but was short as the tripped-out pocket horse got a neck in front.
KILL THE NOISE AS (NW1) sat patient, tipped the final turn and rolled by easily as the odds-on favorite and will be one to consider.
GOLAZO (CLAIMS) brush early and drew off the last half as the second favorite in quickest of the divisions.
