Woodbine Harness: Horses to watch from Mar. 8 - Mar. 12

Thursday, March 8

OK ICEMAN (CLMHCP15/18000) set the pace under pressure all the way, shook it off, pulled away but staggered late. Should have an easier time of it in next race or two.

LISVINNIE (CLMHCP8/10000) had a tough trip two back and tired. Hit his best stride late in last and ran out of track. Veteran should get it done.

GLENCOVE ZANI (CLMHCP12/150000 finished full of trot from far back in last and earns a long look in next.

ASPECIAL PRESENCE (NW1FM) Had a long way to come in last from 4th over and nearly got it done at 23-1.

Friday, March 9

BETTOR BB (NW1) yielded twice, sat pocket and was a game winner only to be taken down for interference.

STORMY CASH (NW1) went to the top, had tight quarters to the half as the field bunched during lead changes, got shuffled, had more traffic through the lane.

XPERT BAYAMA (NW3) went to the top, yielded, sat pocket in tight quarters with clearance too late to show his best.

MYSTICAL MISSION (NW3000) was used hard in valiant parked the mile game closing score.

Saturday, March 10

RESISTANCE FUTILE (NW15000) finished full of pace rallying through traffic between horses from 3rd over and can take another.

ROCKABELLA (CLMHCP8/10000) came wide and closed stoutly through the lane.

MAJOR LEGACY (NW2600) seemed hopelessly buried heading home but found room and closed a ton.

NATURAL KEMP (CLMHCP20/25000) favorite came wide from 2nd over and crushed it through the lane. Should be able to take another.

BIG RICH (PRF) went to the top, yielded, sat pocket in stretch traffic. Can get there with some racing luck.
