Saturday, September 17

HOT DEUCE (CLMHCP30/40000) finished strong and just missed from second over in latest.
JUSTICE (NW17500) tucked early, pulled to the third panel and won going away.
PREMIER ROCKSTAR (CLMHCP30/40000) was a handy wire-to-wire winner in last and should be hard to beat in next.
BRAVO TEX N (CLMHCP30/40000) finished strong from far back to get for second at 19-1.
SOUTHPORT BEACH (CLMHCP30/40000) also finished full of pace in same race and bears watching.

Monday, September 19

BANZAI AS (NW2600) beaten favorite was parked the mile grinding to the leader, did not go peacefully staying to the end but was 3rd in the photo.
BETTE TINE (NW4FM) showed some good late pace from third over in last.
HIT ME UP (NW4FM) another beaten favorite who was parked the mile, challenged hard to the lane before tiring.
DIVISION BELL (NW2500) challenged the odds-on favorite at 33-1 but was second in the photo.
THINK OF GALAXIES (W3-7FM) was a handy wire-to-wire winner in latest.
TACHVON (NW4) wire-to-wire winning prohibitive favorite from winning barn and with multi-talented driver should take another.

Tuesday, September 20

BIRDIE THREE (NW1FM) tucked to the quarter, sat but was shuffled when the leader gave way in the final turn, rallied willingly once clear and deserves a long look in next.
TILLIOS ACTION (NW2/2YO) odds-on favorite closed strongly to win going away in last and could take another.
ON THE HOUSE (NW2/2YOF) yielded, retook and met pressure from the well-bet second choice but proved best.
ALWAYS BETTER (NW5) tucked early, brushed to the lead at 8-1, put away a last-quarter challenger but was nailed by the late-closing odds-on favorite.
